Business Representation

The last thing you need as a business owner is a lawsuit. Issues with contracts, accounts payable/receivable, disgruntled shareholders, improper or inadequate corporate structures, and other business-related issues take up vast amounts of time resolving that could be spent bettering your company. The time, use of human and monetary capital to address suits, the fact that they always hit at the most inconvenient time, and knowing the drag litigation has on making your business profitable are all reasons that a lawsuit against your business is the last thing you need or want to add to your plate. What isn’t obvious (or well known) is that most suits are either preventable or with proper planning the impact of them can be minimized. 

The secret is planning. The experienced business attorneys at Parks Zeigler will perform business triage. We will review your articles of incorporation, operating agreement or bylaws, minutes, human resource policies, contracts, and other necessary documents to give you a full picture of what is being done right and where you need to improve. A well- drafted contract or corporate documents can often prevent a suit from being filed against you, greatly increase the effectiveness of your defense if the suit is filed against you or can put you in the driver’s seat if you need to file a suit.

Without a clear plan, your life’s hard-earned assets could lead to family disputes or unintended tax burdens down the road.
