Business Law
Connecticut Business Law Attorney
Our representation of new and emerging businesses is designed with two main objectives in mind; getting our clients started on the right track and keeping them going down the path of success. We have adopted a forward-thinking approach to business representation with an eye towards developing long-term relationships. Our progressive approach to problem-solving helps our clients minimize risk and improve their bottom lines.
Getting You Started
Starting a new business involves proper business planning, hard-work and an entrepreneurial spirit; it also involves some degree of financial risk. We provide services that are designed to minimize these risks by proactively and comprehensively assisting clients through the initial stages of forming a business.
In our role as counsel to start-up businesses, we take our clients through the various issues that they must address, carefully evaluating and explaining each issue, so that our clients understand the risks, variables and industry-specific nuances that they will encounter during their business operations.
Our comprehensive start-up representation includes:
- Legal advice about selecting the optimal entity form (i.e. Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships, Corporations, “S” Corporations, Limited Partnerships, Limited Liability Partnerships, Limited Liability Corporations and Professional Corporations)
- Assistance with evaluating, reviewing and planning for a myriad of related start-up issues including, start-up financing, obtaining favorable tax treatment, identifying and minimizing liabilities, setting up operations, evaluating and assigning ownership interests, governance planning and employment-related considerations.
- Filing organizing documents with the Secretary of State’s office and negotiating and drafting various business forms including, Articles of Incorporation or Organization, Corporate Resolutions, Operating Agreements, Partnership Agreements, Bylaws, Purchase and Sale Agreements, Employment Contracts (Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreements) and Commercial Leases.
Our firm also handles nonprofit formations and the related IRS filing requirements for obtaining and maintaining tax-exempt status as 501(c)(3) entity.

Keeping You Going
As general counsel to business clients we are often asked to provide practical legal advice for day-to-day, real world situations. Many of our clients own or operate small and mid-sized businesses that require frequent legal counsel, but are too small to hire a full-time, in-house attorney. These clients rely on our firm for all of their legal needs. In most cases we can provide the services that are requested or required, in others, we counsel and assist our clients with the selection and retention of a specialized firm or attorney to handle the specific matter or dispute. Our number one goal is always to help our clients achieve their business objectives.
The services that we provide are always focused on adding value. We emphasize frequent and open communications with our clients; our accessible, objective advice and practical experience has proven to be our most valuable asset.
Our general counsel services include developing, negotiating and enforcing legal documents that protect businesses and ensure ongoing stability. The document preparation services that we provide are broad in scope and specific in detail. A few of the documents we have drafted for our clients include:
- Employment contracts
- Property and equipment leases
- Purchase and sale agreements
- Various credit instruments
- Buy-sell agreements
- Warranties
- Financing agreements
- Confidentiality agreements
- Non-compete covenants
- Subcontractor agreements
Our business law services also include general and commercial litigation. We prosecute and defend a wide range of lawsuits including premises liability claims, commercial collections, landlord tenant disputes and employer-employee actions.
We also provide our clients with assistance with business-related issues that are ancillary to the ownership and operation of a business including business-succession and estate planning assistance.
Simply put, our one-stop approach to business representation helps our clients navigate through the complexities of owning and operating a business, allowing them to spend more time on what really matters…their customers.
