Practice Areas
Focused practice. Lawyers who know your work.
Understanding your organization deeply - its goals, its people, its history - is what makes the difference between advice that is technically correct and advice that is actually useful.
Closely Held Businesses
Legal counsel built around your business and the people behind it.
For family businesses and closely held companies, business decisions are often personal. Ownership, relationships, and long-term goals are connected, making counsel who understands both the business and the family especially valuable.
We provide formation assistance, ongoing business counsel, and support for individual projects. Each engagement is tailored to the client's needs, with a clearly defined scope and coordination with other professional advisors when appropriate.
Business Formation
Guidance on entity selection, formation documents, and initial governance arrangements, working with accountants and other advisors to align the structure with your business goals.
Ongoing Business Counsel
Practical guidance on day-to-day legal questions, business relationships, and decisions affecting the company and its owners.
Contracts & Commercial Agreements
Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating vendor agreements, service contracts, confidentiality agreements, and other contracts that support business operations.
Governance & Organizational Matters
Organizational documents, corporate records, resolutions, and written consents that clarify roles and support sound business practices.
Coordination with Other Advisors
Working alongside accountants, financial advisors, and specialized counsel to help clients consider business decisions in the context of their broader family and financial goals.
Nonprofit and Tax-Exempt Organizations
Strong legal foundations for mission-driven work.
Nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations operate under a distinct set of legal obligations - to their missions, their boards, their donors, and the public. A lawyer who understands that context, and who has taken the time to know your organization, can provide guidance that is practical, not just technically correct.
We advise nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations on formation, governance, contracts, and organizational matters. Services are tailored to each organization's needs, from individual projects to ongoing counsel within an agreed scope.
Formation & Tax-Exempt Planning
Articles of incorporation, initial bylaws, and foundational documents to establish your nonprofit organization. Working with accountants and other advisors to evaluate eligibility for tax-exempt status and identify appropriate next steps.
Board Governance
Bylaws, conflict-of-interest policies, and board procedures that support accountability and effective decision-making.
Organizational Documents
Board resolutions, written consents, and corporate records that document decisions and clarify organizational responsibilities.
Contracts & Agreements
Drafting and reviewing vendor, service, and other operational agreements, with attention to the organization's mission and resources.
Board Education & Guidance
Practical guidance on board roles, responsibilities, and routine governance questions.
