Business & Corporate
BUSINESS LEGAL PARTNERS has a diversified business and corporate practice, representing corporations and other business entities, financial institutions, and entrepreneurs in various capacities including serving as general corporate counsel.
We represent business clients throughout their life cycle: from raising start-up capital to choosing and creating the business entity; to establishing the relations of owners and employees through buy/sell and employment agreements and equity arrangements; to equity, debt, or commercial financing; and to exits, including acquisitions and mergers or third party sales. We also represent financial institutions with a variety of commercial lending transactions, including participations and trade finance transactions. In all matters, we evaluate potential liability so that our clients can make informed decisions on accepting or rejecting exposure given the respective costs and benefits.
Litigation
BUSINESS LEGAL PARTNERS provides boutique commercial litigation services featuring former partners of national law firms. While the firm has litigated a wide variety of cases, the firm has had particular success litigating shareholder and partner disputes, trade secret cases, and real estate disputes. Particularly in a mediated dispute, we pride ourselves on employing risk based principles so that clients can correctly price a settlement opportunity and evaluate the return for their litigation investment.
Real Estate
BUSINESS LEGAL PARTNERS specializes in real estate loan transactions for financial institutions, including loan workouts. In addition, we work closely with developers, lenders, architects, contractors, engineers, brokers, and consultants on every aspect of commercial, industrial, retail, and residential properties. Finally, BUSINESS LEGAL PARTNERS has extensive experience in representing both landlords and tenants on all matters relating to the leasing and management of commercial, retail, and industrial properties.
