Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Creating a brand identity for your business often entails securing the intellectual property (IP) that sets you apart from your competitors. Examples of IP include:

• Trade Secrets: Nondisclosure agreements and non-compete agreements can help protect your valuable information, preventing unfair competition from causing you to suffer financial losses.
• Trademarks: These are immediately recognizable facets of your brand, and they may include your business's logo, slogan, or name.
• Copyrights: Copyright protects the creative works of your business, such as your website design, written articles or blog posts, and original software.

A business law attorney at our firm can help you establish intellectual property rights and make sure that they hold up according to state and federal law.

Business Formation

If you are just starting your business or are looking to restructure, deciding on the right business structure is important. Your choice will have implications on taxation, liability, and other aspects of your business. A partnership or sole proprietorship may afford you the most control over your business, and it may allow you to bring in direct income. However, because sole proprietorships and partnerships are not treated as separate entities from their owner(s), lawsuits or claims from creditors can lead to liability for the business owners themselves. By contrast, corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs) offer a higher level of protection for business owners.

Deciding on the right structure of your business requires careful forethought. Our business law attorneys can advise you on the best steps to take to address liability concerns, put organizational structures in place, and plan for your long-term financial growth.

Mergers and Acquisitions

A merger or acquisition is a great opportunity for growth, combining two business's resources for a better position in the market. However, the process of transferring ownership and combining operations will require assistance from a business law attorney to ensure that the deal is fair to all parties and that all legal concerns will be addressed correctly. Our firm has extensive experience when it comes to mergers and acquisitions, and we help our clients take thorough measures during due diligence to uncover any and all relevant information.

To get an informed idea of the transaction, we consult with financial experts to perform an accurate business valuation, which will bring to light any existing debts and risks so that all parties are fully informed. We can help draft contracts that will facilitate the smooth transfer of business ownership, outlining the terms for post-merger integration.
