Business Services

In Lloyd Gosselink’s Business Services Practice Group, we are successful when you are. We offer a broad range of services to meet the varied and changing business needs of our public and private sector clients. Our attorneys provide collaborative counseling throughout the course of business activities, at all times working towards your sustained success.

Our clients call on us at any stage of their enterprise.

Starting a new business or embarking on a new venture can present any number of challenges. We frequently assist clients at the beginning stages of a business or venture, including:

• Formation of business entities, such as partnerships, limited liability companies, other professional entities, and both for-profit and non-profit corporations
• Assisting with negotiating real estate leases, purchases, sales, and development agreements
   

Daily operations and expanding your business may offer unique challenges. We provide experienced, consistent counseling to help you operate smoothly and efficiently.  We take the time to understand our clients’ operations so that our advice is tailored to maximize gains and minimize costs.  For on-going business activities, we are skilled in:

• Drafting and reviewing contracts including real estate, employment and severance agreements, construction contracts, and sale and purchase contracts
• Assisting with employment activities, including drafting initial employment forms and policies, workforce training, advising on employment law compliance, and evaluating employment decisions and documentation
• Entity restructuring and the formation of subsidiaries and affiliates as growth dictates

In risk management and litigation, we help you evaluate your business activities to analyze risk and avoid unnecessary losses or liabilities. We provide both pre-dispute counseling and aggressive litigation representation when disputes arise.  Our representation includes:

• Litigation avoidance, risk management, and pre-litigation counseling to help our clients both avoid disputes and to be in the best position to prevail should a dispute arise
• Conducting internal investigations for confidential needs and for public reporting purposes
• Serving as skilled and aggressive advocates, trying and winning cases in courts or government agencies, as well as arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution proceedings

Every client and every business is unique, and throughout the process, we remain focused on obtaining the best result and the best value for you. Regardless of the nature, size, or stage of your business, the attorneys of Lloyd Gosselink’s Business Services Practice Group are proud to partner with you to find the best path to your sustained success.
