Legal Services Offered by Our Firm

Here are some of the key legal services we offer to small and medium-sized businesses in Hampshire:

1. Entity Formation: Choosing the right type of business entity is crucial when starting a new business. Whether it’s a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), or corporation, each entity type has specific legal implications, including tax obligations and liability concerns. Our firm will assist you in selecting the most suitable entity type based on your business goals and needs.
2. Governance Documents: A solid legal foundation is essential for any business. We help draft and refine important governance documents, such as operating agreements, bylaws, shareholder agreements, and partnership agreements. These documents are vital for the smooth operation of your business and can help prevent disputes among owners and stakeholders.
3. Corporate Compliance: Compliance with corporate regulations is crucial for any business. We assist you in meeting state and federal requirements, such as filing annual reports with the Illinois Secretary of State. We also help manage your corporate record books and ensure that all necessary documents are up-to-date and properly maintained.
4. Employment Issues: Navigating employment laws and regulations can be complex, even for small businesses. We offer support in drafting employee handbooks, addressing employment disputes, and ensuring compliance with anti-discrimination, wage, and labor laws. Whether you have a small team or are expanding, we can help manage all aspects of employment law.
5. Contract Issues: Contracts are a fundamental part of any business. We assist with drafting, reviewing, and enforcing contracts related to employment, partnerships, services, and client relationships. If disputes arise, we are prepared to advocate for your interests and protect your business.

Mediation and Arbitration Services

While litigation may sometimes be necessary, it is often more efficient and cost-effective to resolve disputes through mediation or arbitration. Our firm is dedicated to exploring these alternative dispute resolution methods whenever possible. We are skilled in mediation and arbitration, helping you reach resolutions that minimize disruption to your business and allow you to return to normal operations as quickly as possible.

With our extensive experience in business litigation, we are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for your case.

Employment disputes can be particularly challenging for small businesses. Our firm provides comprehensive legal services for all types of employment litigation, including discrimination, harassment, wage disputes, and breach of contract.
