Business/Commercial Litigation

Business and commerce require effective transactions and when necessary, competent litigation in order to operate successfully.

Transactions

James R. Douglass, Co., LPA provides transactional services to clients in a commercial and business capacity. Forming a business requires the selection of a business entity that looks to the bottom line and is suited to the goals of the business, its operations and that minimizes taxation. Our lawyers assist clients in making informed decisions in company formation, whether choosing a limited liability company, a limited partnership, an S corporation, C corporation, non-profit or some other entity. Through proper and thorough research, drafting all necessary documentation and handling any other legalities required, we take effective measures to assist clients in setting up business entities in a timely manner.

We also assist clients in business and commercial operations by drafting and reviewing contracts, buy sell agreements and leases. A legally sound contract can help to avoid re-visiting issues based in ambiguity or lack of proper legal documentation from the outset of a business arrangement.

Litigation

An extensive background dealing with legal issues in a corporate setting has provided our law firm with the ability to offer clients an insightful grasp of business situations and innovative solutions to solve their legal matters. However, at times business and commercial disputes arise that may require legal representation through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) or civil litigation. Our lawyers assist clients through negotiated settlements, arbitration and courtroom litigation. Offering skilled advocacy for both plaintiffs and defendants, we represent clients in shareholder disputes, contract disputes and other types of disputes pertinent to commerce and business.
