BUSINESS LEGAL COUNSEL OFFERING PRACTICAL AND VALUABLE ASSISTANCE
Horowitz Law Group is your Baltimore destination for business-related legal representation. Our firsthand knowledge of the complexities of business ownership provides us with real-world experience that makes our legal counsel all the more valuable and effective. We strive to understand you and your business and provide the skilled legal counsel needed at every stage of the lifecycle of your business. The spectrum of those services includes:
- Listening and Learning. Our first priority is to gain a meaningful understanding of the relevant industry, your short-term and long-term business goals and the dynamic and differing priorities among the parties involved.
- Formation. We can then make a determination as to which business structure is best suited for your individual interests. We will form all necessary entities and draft and negotiate all applicable governing documents, including, as applicable, Operating Agreements, Partnership Agreements, Stockholder Agreements, corporate minutes and any other appropriate documentation.
- Financing. Financing your business can often include a combination of private and institutional lenders and investors, and developing the terms of these relationships can be complex. You can count on us to provide guidance through the process of financing your business, including coordination with your lenders and investors, reviewing and negotiating all financing documents and communicating with you in a clear and straightforward manner on all existing and anticipated issues.
- Business Operations. The crucial legal services needed at the heart of your business involve your commercial contracts. We will draft and negotiate all necessary contracts, which may include service provider agreements, management agreements, brand licensing and franchising documents, purchase agreements, commercial leasing, equipment leasing and confidentiality and noncompetition agreements. We will keep you informed and offer valuable guidance throughout the process and for the full term of each contract.
- Employment. We provide assistance with employment related matters, including drafting and negotiating employment agreements and independent contractor agreements, and structuring equity incentive plans.
- Disputes. Disputes are common and can come in many forms and be internal or with third parties. We will assist in negotiating comprehensive and equitable resolutions, drawing from years of relevant experience. If all else fails, we have a strong network of attorneys with whom we have worked closely on formal dispute resolution matters.
- Growth and Transition. Businesses do not remain static. You might expand the scope of your business, merge with a strategic partner, acquire an ancillary business or a competitor or pursue any of the numerous other paths of growth. Conversely, your business may have run its course, or you may look to implement a succession plan or entertain being acquired. We have you covered at every turn and will help ensure that you successfully achieve your business goals, whatever they may be.
As some businesses unfortunately learn the hard way, many problems that come up could have been avoided had the corporate structuring and commercial contracts been set up properly in the first place. At Horowitz Law Group, we know that identifying and addressing issues in advance will help avoid future disputes and bumps in the road, and we make it our mission to do just that.
We understand that between clients, employees and other business partners, you do not have the time to deal with the many legal issues that can arise. Our experience and knowledge allow us to take on some of your business' more complex challenges, freeing you to focus on what matters most: taking your business to the next level.
