Our experienced attorneys provide guidance on multiple types of legal issues that can affect business owners and partners. Our goal is to empower businesses to thrive while ensuring they comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Business Formation and Corporate Governance
One of the critical steps in starting a business is choosing the right legal structure. At Mallery s.c., our attorneys assist clients with business formation, including selecting the appropriate entity type, which may be a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), or corporation. We help with the preparation and filing of necessary documents, such as articles of incorporation, operating agreements, and bylaws.
Corporate governance involves establishing a framework for decision-making and accountability within a company. Our attorneys work closely with business owners and executives to develop governance policies that ensure compliance with legal requirements and promote effective management. This includes advising on board structures, shareholder agreements, and compliance with fiduciary duties. Our goal is to help businesses create robust governance practices that foster transparency and accountability.
Assisting with Business Transactions
Business transactions can be complex, and they require meticulous planning and effective execution. Mallery s.c. offers comprehensive legal support for various types of transactions, including:
- Mergers and acquisitions (M&A): Combining two businesses can be a complex process, and the decisions made during mergers can significantly impact a company's future. Our attorneys provide strategic guidance throughout the entire M&A process, from initial negotiations to final integration. We conduct thorough due diligence to identify potential risks and ensure that all legal aspects are meticulously addressed. Our services include drafting and reviewing transaction documents, negotiating terms, and facilitating a smooth transition post-merger or acquisition.
- Business sales and purchases: Our attorneys offer experienced legal support to safeguard the interests of those who buy or sell businesses. We assist with the evaluation of assets, negotiation of terms, and preparation of sale agreements. Our aim is to ensure that the transaction aligns with the stakeholders' strategic objectives while minimizing legal risks.
Contract Drafting, Negotiation, and Review
Contracts are the backbone of any business operation, governing relationships with employees, vendors, partners, and clients. At Mallery s.c., our attorneys possess extensive experience in drafting, negotiating, and reviewing contracts to ensure they are legally sound and align with a business's goals. We can assist with:
- Employment contracts: We help businesses draft contracts that clearly define the terms of employment, including roles, responsibilities, compensation, and termination conditions. Our goal is to create agreements that protect a business while fostering positive employee relationships.
- Vendor contracts: Relationships with vendors and suppliers can be critical to business operations. Our attorneys draft and review vendor contracts to ensure that a business's interests are protected, that terms are clear, and that potential risks are mitigated. We can assist with agreements for supply, distribution, and services.
- Construction contracts: In the construction industry, well-drafted contracts are essential to prevent disputes and ensure the success of projects. We assist with drafting and negotiating construction contracts, including terms related to project scope, timelines, payments, and dispute resolution.
- Partnership agreements and operating agreements: For businesses with multiple partners or members, having clear legal agreements is crucial. We draft agreements that outline the roles, responsibilities, and financial commitments of partners or LLC members, helping to prevent conflicts and ensure smooth operations.
Navigating Regulatory Compliance
Compliance with regulatory requirements is essential to avoid legal pitfalls and maintain a positive business reputation. Our attorneys at Mallery s.c. offer guidance on various regulatory issues, including environmental regulations, financial regulations, employment laws, and industry-specific regulations. We can help perform assessments, implement compliance programs, monitor regulatory compliance, submit reports and documents, and provide representation when working with government officials.
