COMPANY START-UP, COMMERCIAL & CONTRACT ATTORNEY SERVICE - Free Consultation (Midtown, NYC) New York City

If you are seeking legal counsel in this area, please read and review this page in its entirety.
I am an attorney at law experienced in company formation (partnership , LLC,'C', and 'S' Corp), contract drafting and review, and small commercial litigation in New York State. Whether you are contemplating forming a company or plan to sign a commercial agreement, it is in your best interests to consult an attorney for sound legal advice at the outset. The complexities of the commercial world require the services of a business lawyer.
Problems in business enterprises are best prevented with counsel who can first explain the risks, then construct and review with you the documents necessary to protect your interests. From the inception of a business to its dissolution, I can help you make informed decisions that are best for your business. Most small or start-up businesses cannot afford in-house counsel, or to keep an attorney on retainer, but should at least have one at the outset, then consult with that attorney at each important change or decision made in the life of the company. As part of my services, I advise entrepreneurs and businesses on the legal issues of operating in their particular field by reviewing litigation and agency decisions so that they may avoid certain 'red flag' legal problems and potential lawsuits.

If you are trying to determine whether a limited liability company or a corporation is best for your business, I can explain the available alternatives in business formation so that you can consider the benefits and drawbacks. After discussing your options, I can execute your chosen action plan to ensure that you avoid certain legal difficulties. I can draft and review all documents necessary to establish a business in good standing under state laws, including:
Operating agreements for LLCs
Articles of incorporation or organization
By-laws or operating agreements
I also counsel clients on all actions necessary to remain in compliance with state laws, such as the maintenance of business records and the scheduling of annual meetings of owners and directors. Moreover, if you are developing your business in New York you will need to know the city, state and federal regulations governing your enterprise. I can investigate and advise you on regulatory compliance and related issues.

Successful operation of a business requires complex legal documents that need review by an attorney, including:

Confidentiality agreements
Non-compete agreements
Employment contracts
Commercial Leases and real property contracts
Vendor agreements
I do not however provide tax advice.

My practice is based in Manhattan, though I handle clients in the other Boroughs, Westchester and Long Island. Any matter that I take up will be handled discreetly. My legal fees for representation are fair and reasonable, though not cheap, and you will learn about them as part of our initial conversation by telephone. I offer flat fees in many, but not all, matters. I will consider offers of alternative compensation, or barter, if appropriate.
If I do not answer your telephone call directly, please leave a message that you are seeking legal counsel, provide a contact telephone number and then I will return your call as soon as possible. Meetings can be arranged at a location in Manhattan convenient for you, if you prefer.
Alternatively, if you are not comfortable in seeking legal counsel through Craigslist then you should consider contacting the appropriate local Bar Association. Either without cost or for a small fee, they provide the names of attorneys that the Bar has reviewed and vetted in particular areas of specialty to ensure that they have knowledge and experience to meet your needs.
