Business Formation and Structuring
Starting a business is exciting but also requires careful planning and decision-making. One of the most important choices is selecting the best legal structure for your business.
A Los Banos business attorney can help you:
- Choose the best legal structure based on your business goals,
- Draft the necessary formation documents, and
- Ensure compliance with all state and federal regulations.
Whether you are considering a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), or corporation, we can guide you through the process of establishing a structure that protects your personal assets, minimizes taxes, and sets you up for long-term success.
Contracts and Agreements
Contracts are the foundation of many business transactions. Whether you’re negotiating with suppliers, employees, or customers, legally sound contracts are essential to protecting your interests and minimizing disputes.
We assist with various types of business contracts, including:
- Vendor and supplier agreements,
- Employment contracts,
- Service agreements,
- Partnership agreements, and
- Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
Los Banos business law attorney Shawn George can skillfully draft, review, and negotiate clear contracts that help protect your rights.
Business Dispute Resolution
Disputes are an unfortunate but common part of doing business. Whether you’re facing a contract dispute, a disagreement with a partner, or a dispute with a vendor or customer, handling these issues effectively can prevent costly and time-consuming litigation.
Shawn George can help with:
- Alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation and arbitration;
- Negotiating settlements and resolutions to avoid courtroom battles; and
- Representation in business litigation when necessary.
We provide strategic advice on resolving business disputes quickly and efficiently, aiming to protect your business’s reputation and bottom line.
Compliance and Regulatory Guidance
Running a business means complying with various local, state, and federal regulations. These laws can be complex and constantly changing, and failing to comply can result in significant penalties or legal trouble.
We provide guidance on:
- Employment law compliance (e.g., wage and hour laws, workplace safety);
- Tax compliance, including sales tax, payroll taxes, and corporate taxes;
- Environmental regulations; and
- Consumer protection laws.
As a Los Banos business attorney, Shawn George and his team can help you comply with all relevant laws and industry-specific rules.
Mergers and Acquisitions
For businesses looking to grow, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) can be an excellent way to expand market reach, increase profits, and diversify services. M&A transactions are complex and require careful legal planning to ensure a smooth process and avoid potential pitfalls.
A Los Banos business law attorney can assist you with:
- Drafting and negotiating M&A agreements,
- Conducting thorough due diligence to identify potential risks,
- Structuring the transaction to protect your interests, and
