Corporate Law Attorney
Serving the McKinney & Frisco, TX Areas

Corporate law, or business law, governs the rights and conduct of companies and organizations. It often relates to the lifecycle of a corporation and involves its formation, funding, governance, and death. While corporate law is something that all corporations must be familiar with in order to operate successfully, many fail to retain the counsel of a certified, experienced corporate and business law attorney. Protect your business’s interests by working with The Cawlfield Law Firm, PLLC today.

Our Business Law Practices Areas

Our legal team has experience assisting businesses that are navigating various business and corporate law matters. Our business law practices areas include, but are not limited to:

Business Formation

For startups, the legal structure that is selected for a business will have a large impact on the business moving forward, including things like business shares, taxes, and liability. Our law firm can advise you regarding which type of business structure is most appropriate for your enterprise (like sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability corporation, or corporation), as well as represent you in gathering the proper documentation and applications for registering your business. From there, we’ll also assist you in navigating things like taxes, employee agreements, and more based on your business structure.

Employee Agreements and Labor Laws

For businesses that hire employees, understanding the state and federal laws related to labor is critical; an error could result in fines and legal issues, including litigation, in some cases. Our lawyers will represent you in making sense of wage and hour laws, workers’ compensation laws, discrimination laws, OSHA requirements, paid and unpaid leave laws, and more. We can also assist you in forming employee contacts, and we can represent you in any employment disputes. We can also provide representation in the formation and execution of non-compete and non-disclosure agreements.

Contracts

Businesses enter numerous contracts as part of their operations, including contracts with employees, other businesses, suppliers, distributors, construction contractors, and more. Our law firm provides representation in drafting and negotiating contracts, reviewing contracts, and representing our clients in breach of contract cases.

Real Estate Matters

Businesses may buy or sell real estate, lease real estate, rent from another party, or pursue new construction projects. Real estate transactions can be complicated and there is a lot of room for error – making a mistake, breaching a contract, or failing to understand your rights can be costly. Engaging in a real estate transaction without a commercial real estate attorney on your side is a short-sighted endeavor.

Business Disputes

At some point during the lifetime of your business, it is highly likely, if not guaranteed, that your business will find itself in some sort of dispute. Common types of disputes include partnership disputes, shareholder disputes, employee disputes, and breach of contract disputes; however, this list is not all-inclusive. Our experienced business attorney can help you to mitigate the worst outcomes of a dispute, advise you of your options, represent you in business mediation, and litigate on your behalf should it come to that.

Risk Management Counsel

Risk management counsel refers to work with an attorney who can foresee business risks and implement recommendations and actions to mitigate such risk. This can be important to your business’s reputation, finances, and relationships long-term. Our philosophy is that it’s always best to take preventative measures to avoid disputes and legal challenges in advance as opposed to trying to remedy a mistake or dispute once it’s no longer avoidable.

We also provide counsel related to corporate governance and financial law.
