The skilled Denver contract attorneys at Sequoia Legal provide corporate contractual legal advice and services for some of the most common business needs, including:
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is the field of law governing the purchase, sale, or merging of business entities. A mergers and acquisitions attorney assists clients in sourcing capital, drafting and negotiating contracts, and facilitating a smooth merger of two different businesses.
M&A law includes negotiating and conducting the transactional sale or purchase of a business or portions of a business. Mergers and acquisition transactions are among the most complex types of sales, with consequences impacting business success for decades. We negotiate cash sales, stock options, and other compensation.
Our business formation attorneys provide advice on what type of business entity is the right choice for your goals and industry. Your business formation lawyer also advises you of the tax implications for each type of business, so you can make an informed choice.
We work with your accountant to determine whether you should form a limited liability company, C corporation, or S corporation. We complete and file all necessary paperwork, including license applications.
Partnership agreements are critical for ensuring each member of the partnership is protected. A good agreement includes consideration for resolving disputes and dissolving the partnership, including provisions for one partner buying out another.
A partnership agreement governs day-to-day business operations and delineates the responsibilities of each party. It also determines how dividends and profits are to be divided and offers protection for each partner’s personal assets.
Many franchise agreements are already drafted boilerplate by the franchisor. We advise franchisees on their obligations before signing a franchise contract and assist with negotiations with the franchisor. By law, a franchisor must provide relevant documents and information for a franchisee; our attorneys help you review these before you sign.
Starting a business requires substantial legal preparation, from protecting the business name and brand to contract drafting and establishing legal protections for proprietary information, like trade secrets or client lists.
A startup lawyer works with you to learn your business needs, then drafts the appropriate legal contracts and documentation you need to execute your plans.
We create internal documents like employment contracts, operating agreements, and bylaws and negotiate buy-sell agreements on your behalf. We also negotiate third-party contracts and real estate lease agreements and obtain appropriate permits and licensing.
A commercial lease lawyer advises landlords and tenants in negotiating a commercial lease agreement. At Sequoia Legal, we draft, review, redline, and analyze documents before you sign them and negotiate more favorable terms as needed.
Lease agreements can be complex. We review your obligations per the lease, including how it is to be used and what your business is permitted to do and prohibited from doing. We also ensure that you are protected with regard to property maintenance responsibility, liability, taxes, and utilities.
Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) protect business secrets, from recipes to client lists and other proprietary information. A non-disclosure agreement lawyer drafts nondisclosure agreements for the appropriate positions in your organization, such as sales managers, personal assistants, or stenographers.
Or perhaps you’re being asked to sign an NDA as part of a business transaction, such as a merger. Other situations where you could be asked to sign include lawsuits. We review NDAs for you and advise whether signing is in your best interests.
As your non-compete agreement lawyers, we review any non-compete agreement you may sign --- or consider having employees sign - to ensure it meets Colorado and federal statutory requirements.
We also determine whether it’s a reasonable agreement geographically and in duration. Your non-compete agreement should be enforceable in court and hold the signers accountable for breaching it. We place reasonable provisions in your non-compete agreements and pursue claims against those who breach them.
Our contract law attorney firm also advises you before you sign a non-compete agreement in your business dealings.
Employment contracts should protect both employers and employees. In your business, you may find yourself issuing employment contracts, even if you are operating in an at-will employment state.
The contract can cover the employee's responsibilities and compensation and are most common for C-level executives and directors. A Sequoia Legal employment contract lawyer can draft a contract that rewards loyalty from your leadership team and enforce it for the non-performance of the employee.
If a buyer is unhappy with the sale of your business, they could allege that you intentionally failed to disclose significant issues with the business, which made it unprofitable.
An experienced contract lawyer drafts a sales agreement that adequately protects you in a non-disclosure suit and will defend you in court if the other party brings a suit. We protect you as a secured creditor and ensure you have a personal guarantee from the buyer.
When you purchase a business, you need to ensure that all aspects of the company are as the seller claims. Our legal services include auditing the business’s profit and loss statements and valuing its assets.
We also examine the sales contract to ensure that you are purchasing the business assets, not a membership interest or stocks in the company. Your Denver contract lawyer negotiates a fair price for the sale and will draft the sales contract or review and advise you on a contract presented by the seller.
Breach of contract is essentially breaking a legal promise. Violating the terms of a contract is considered to be a breach and is one of the most common legal issues our law firm handles.
If the other signatory on a contract breaches its terms and causes financial or other losses for your business, our law firm can file a breach of contract suit, seeking restitution on your behalf.
To ensure your business goals are legally protected, schedule a consultation with an experienced contract lawyer at Sequoia Legal law firm.
