Legal Services For Illinois Small Business Owners
Running a small business often means dealing with legal matters that big corporations may never encounter. Our firm works closely with business owners like you to ensure every angle is covered and reduce your risk exposure.
Some of the core services we provide include:
Purchase, Sale, and Stock Transfers: Whether you’re acquiring another business, selling your own, or transferring stock between stakeholders, our skilled negotiators get you the best terms in each deal. We also handle asset purchases like real estate or equipment and whatever else you need to take your business to the next level.
Entity Formation: Starting a business in Illinois takes more than just a bright idea. We choose the best structure to accomplish your goals (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, etc.) and file all the necessary paperwork with the Illinois Secretary of State. We make sure all the formation documents are properly drafted and filed so you can focus on launching your business.
Employee Matters: Employment issues can be tricky. A single error in hiring, disciplining, or terminating a team member can expose your enterprise to an employment lawsuit or other legal trouble. We offer smart, practical advice on how to handle staffing matters while remaining compliant with the EEOC and other federal employment regulations.
Contract Drafting and Review: Contracts are the foundation of your business relationships. We draft all types of business agreements, including leases, employment contracts, vendor deals, partnership arrangements, and industry-specific agreements. We also review any contracts you’re given, carefully reviewing each detail of the terms. If something doesn’t align with your best interests, we negotiate better terms on your behalf.
