Business Law
Business, corporate, and company entrepreneurs, owners, shareholders, partners and members have
to understand and comply with ever increasing complicated legal regulations and requirements. Business as usual is interrupted by non-paying customers, the
necessity for collections, and/or the need to enforce business contracts and agreements. Keeping the doors open, the customers happy, and the bills paid means
knowledgeable and readily available legal business representation is a necessity. You know how to run your business, but you don’t always know, and cannot keep
up with, all the laws and regulations that may apply to and affect your business. This is especially true when governments make new laws, or change the laws,
during every legislative session. That is why you need to know, and not be afraid to call us.
We can handle your Vancouver Washington, southwest Washington and metropolitan Portland Oregon area legal business needs and
interests promptly and on short notice. Appointments can be made in the evenings and on weekends.
Forming and organizing sole proprietorships, corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, and nonprofit corporations or
associations, can be accomplished and, more importantly, explained, by our business practice attorneys.
Help in buying or selling a business, collecting debts, defending against lawsuits, and resolving owner/shareholder disputes, in
mediation, arbitrations or in court, are readily available. Don’t be frustrated. Call and get the explanations and answers that you need, so you can pay
attention to business.
Make sure you are filing timely and proper mechanics and materials liens, or professional services liens, when necessary to protect
your cash flow. We can help you create your contracts, invoices, disclaimers, product warnings, warranty or guaranty forms, and personalize your collection
documents and practices. The more precise your documents, the less confusion and argument when it is time to enforce obligations or collect debts.
Product purchase and sale agreements, leases of equipment, loan documents, promissory notes, credit and installment documents,
and security agreements are necessary. They need not be complicated. Those that are complicated, can be made clear, and
amendments made, so that everything is on the table when making the deals that make up the cash flow.
Corporate and company meeting methods and procedures, preparation of meeting minutes and resolutions, and company forms can be
tailored to your business practices.
Profitable commerce doesn’t need commercial litigation, but if it arises, We can handle the legal proceedings and pleadings, and do
the talking to the opponents, other attorneys, and the judges.
Don’t let the tail wag the dog. Protect your operations and employees from over zealous inspectors, misapplied rules and regulations,
competitors’ improper business practices, and the delay and interruption caused by unnecessary disputes and litigation. Be prepared and legally astute with the
help of John L Davis. |
