Business Law


Jim Young | Lois Andrews

 

The need for well-managed businesses to have an ongoing relationship with attorneys familiar with the issues businesses face today has never been greater. Ever more pervasive and intrusive governmental regulation at the municipal, state and federal level, and our increasingly litigious society in general, pose risks that must be managed by all businesses.

Our business law practitioners are prepared to assist businesses with a wide array of legal issues, including:
choosing the form of business entity that is right for you;

representation in a purchase or sale of a business, including drafting of agreements;

bringing a new shareholder or partner into the business and creating buy/sell agreements between the shareholders and partners to ensure minimum disruption to the business upon the departure of any shareholder/partner;

creating a plan for the passing on of the business to the next generation of family members who want to succeed to the ownership and management of the business;

assisting in the establishment of proper employer/ employee relations, including consultation on disciplinary matters and representation in litigation when necessary;

responding to any claim or suit brought against the business for breach of contract, employment dispute or personal injury;

creating strategies for the resolution of disputes including the enforcement of contract obligations;

collection of accounts receivable;

reviewing and creating appropriate agreements between the business and customers and vendors;

maintaining corporate and entity documents;

assisting in the filing of documents for the entity to remain in good standing;

assisting in matters pertaining to real estate, including purchase and sale thereof, and leases, and all financing issues;

negotiating with banks and other sources of financing to meet the needs of the business; and

assisting with environmental law questions as they pertain to the acquisition or the management of real estate

Jim Young and Lois Andrews practice in the area of business law and work together as a team to ensure that our client's needs are met. As practitioners in a small law firm in southeastern Connecticut, we find that from time to time, due to the uniqueness of a situation, a client's needs are best served by referring the client to those who specialize in a certain area, or by bringing experts in other firms, be they attorneys, environmental consultants, accountants or investigators, in to assist us to work on a matter. Where we believe a client's needs indicate, we do not hesitate to recommend to a client that we associate with other professionals and work closely with them for the resolution of the situation.

Our business law practitioners realize that a solution to a business problem requires an understanding of the business context out of which it arises, and that comprehensive solutions to problems are built upon a teamwork approach, where our lawyers work closely with our small business clients to realize the goals of the client.

Our business law practitioners have an awareness of legal problems as they exist within the framework of the larger community. Their views are not those from an ivory tower. We seek to resolve problems as quickly as possible, achieving our clients' goals for the lowest total dollar cost.
