Business Law
Protecting What You've Built.
D.S. Erickson & Associates provides comprehensive business law services designed to support companies throughout every stage of their lifecycle. Services include business formation, transactions, succession planning, dissolution, contract drafting, review, negotiation and more.
This gives business owners a single resource for the legal needs that arise both in day-to-day operations and at major turning points for their organization. This particular practice area is commonly used by entrepreneurs launching a new venture, established businesses restructuring or expanding, and owners planning for an eventual transition or sale.
Business formation work typically involves selecting the right entity structure (such as a corporation, company or partnership) and preparing the foundational documents that govern how the business will operate. It also governs how owners will share in profits, losses, and decision-making.
Getting this structure correct from the outset can help prevent costly disputes in the future and ensures the business is positioned appropriately from a liability and tax perspective.
Contract drafting, review, and negotiation make up another core component of our business law practice, since well-drafted agreements are usually a company’s first line of defense against future disputes.
Our attorneys in this area work to ensure that vendor agreements, service contracts, leases, and other commercial documents clearly reflect the parties’ intentions, as well as protect our client’s interests should a disagreement later arise.
Business succession planning and dissolution services round out our firm’s business law practice, addressing what happens as a business evolves, changes ownership, or eventually winds down.
Whether a client is preparing to pass the business to the next generation, bring in new partners, or close operations altogether, D.S. Erickson & Associates’ attorneys work to make those transitions as smooth and legally sound as possible.
