Gugerty Law Office

BUSINESS SERVICES

Gugerty Law Office provides the core business services required by small and medium–sized businesses: formation of corporations, limited liability companies, or partnerships, representation in the purchase or sale of a business or assets, assistance in confirming permitted uses and obtaining required licenses or special exceptions, and dispute resolution, including mediation, arbitration or litigation services.

Entity Creation and Maintenance. There is a wide variety of legal entities available today which allow businesses great flexibility while controlling tax consequences and protecting assets.

Commercial Transactions. Whatever the type of commercial transaction, we assist clients in exploring all their options to maximize the benefits of the transactions. If advice is needed in a legal specialty such as taxation, intellectual property, employment law, bankruptcy or estate planning, we can provide referrals and work to insure that our clients’ legal needs are met as efficiently as possible.

Dispute Resolution. While our goal is to prevent having our clients embroiled in disputes, sometimes disputes are unavoidable. Litigation is expensive, time-consuming and distracting. Often mediation or arbitration will provide a quicker, less expensive and more satisfying solution than winning or losing a court battle. Even if mediation or arbitration does not end the dispute or the need to file suit, it often narrows the open issues and leads to a speedier trial or settlement.

Licenses, Zoning and Land Use. Regulation is a fact of life these days, and red tape is everywhere regardless of the size of your business. We can provide a road map through the maze to assist in minimizing the delay and expense to your business. Whether you need a permit, license, special exception, variance or an easement from an adjacent property owner, we can help.
