Business Law and Contracts

So you can focus on your business ...

Gabeler, Battocchi, Griggs & Powell has been helping people start businesses and deal with the inevitable complexities for over 25 years. Our clients understand the value of having an attorney who not only understands the law but also understands finance, real estate, and the wide range of practical constraints that go along with running a business.

We can help you set up the appropriate legal entity for your circumstances. This might be a “C” corporation, Subchapter “S” corporation, limited liability company (LLC), or perhaps a partnership agreement. The legal structure you choose depends on your specific business needs, and each provides certain types of protection. In any case, you want to work with a law firm with a strong understanding of finance and who will work closely with your financial advisors.

We can help with any type of contracts for your business, be they agreements, employment contracts, personal services contracts, or other. We can help you buy or sell your business as well.

We also can provide the help you need with real estate transactions, including leases, negotiating with lenders, mortgage settlements, etc.

When needed, we handle all aspects of dispute, from negotiation to litigation. We are experts in dealing with collections and can manage all the legal steps in recovering what you are owed.
