Business law spans a wide range of topics and issues, and business law lawyers must be well-versed in many different areas.
At Gravitas Légal, we can help you with all phases of your business — from business formation to commercial litigation and everything in between. Here are some of the ways that our team can help during different phases of your business.
Business Formation & Structure
When starting a business, the structure you choose can have a lasting effect on the business operations, tax liability, and risk exposure. Making the right decision is key to protecting yourself and your business interests, and you need a business law lawyer in Laval who has the experience to help you make these key decisions.
Additionally, your business formation paperwork needs to be complete and very thorough. This is especially true for partnerships and corporations where multiple people are involved in the business. Failure to draft and execute the proper agreements could leave you exposed to personal liability. Plus, poor agreements can cause big problems down the road if one or more of the partners decide to stop following the rules. Our team can help you draft and execute new documents for a new business formation, or we can review existing documents and let you know where changes might be needed.
Business Operations
There are many areas in the normal operations of a business where having an experienced business lawyer on your side can help. One of the most common areas is contracting. Most businesses enter into
contracts with clients, suppliers, and others on an almost daily basis. It is vitally important that you fully understand the terms of all contracts that you enter into. We can help you with negotiating, drafting, and executing contracts that protect your business interests and minimize your risk.
Employment and labor laws are another area where businesses can encounter problems. You need to make sure that your business is following all the required laws and regulations, or you could face serious consequences. Our experienced team can help advise you on potential problems and give suggestions for best practices when it comes to items like employee handbooks and other things that affect your employee base.
Business Litigation
No matter how well you plan ahead, disputes are bound to arise. When they do, you need a commercial litigation lawyer who can aggressively work to protect you and your business. Disputes can arise in nearly any aspect of your business, and the team at Gravitas Légal has the experience to help you resolve them. Contract disputes, shareholder disputes, and insurance coverage disputes are just a few of the areas where problems can arise.
Our goal is to help you in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Often, we are able to successfully negotiate settlements to resolve business disputes and save you from going through costly and lengthy litigation. However, some disputes cannot be resolved amicably. In those situations, we can aggressively litigate on your behalf in court. Our Laval business law lawyers have a keen eye for detail, and we will review every fact of your case to put together the best strategy for winning. Contact our office today to let us get started working for you.
