BUSINESS LAW: At Zaino & Humphrey, we provide counsel to clients throughout the lifespan of their businesses. From inception through periods of reorganization, mergers, sales, acquisitions and liquidation, we work with all types of entities, including corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and sole proprietors. Our attorneys direct the purchase and sale of businesses in both taxable and nontaxable transactions and manage the change in business structures. With our focus on business law, we are adept at handling specific concerns such as independent contractor relationships, employment issues, pension and profit sharing plans, buy-sell agreements, leases and other contractual arrangements.

In addition, our firm is a very good fit for new business owners who have questions about the type of entity they should form and the structure it should take. We then often help these same companies with plans on how to approach funding, capital needs, and acquisition opportunities.

We address many specific concerns of established businesses, including

transactions such as supplier relationships, distribution arrangements, marketing agreements and all types of commercial contracts

corporate structures and commercial agreements that properly reflect practical concerns of businesses in any industry

documentation of employment, consulting, independent contractor and similar service agreements

proper use of confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition agreements

succession of businesses to key employees or family members, or assistance with the sale of that business

counsel through the winding-up and dissolution of businesses and guide them through exits from undesirable commercial ventures
