Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Whether you are starting a new business or have owned a business for years, protecting and promoting your business while understanding some basics of Massachusetts business law is an important part of the success of your venture and eventual sale.
Business Transactions
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is one of a number of uniform acts created to standardize the laws, in particular, of commercial transactions. Much of the UCC has been adopted in some form by all 50 states. It helps businesses conduct transactions from money lending/borrowing, to writing contracts and some leases, to the sale of […] Read more...
Limited Liability Companies
On-going small businesses need help with the purchase or sale of businesses (usually asset purchases to lessen risks of liability for the buyer, but also often simpler s tock transfers of interests among shareholders – family members or other buyers. Shareholders Agreements can prevent a number of problems. I assist closely held corporations, limited liability companies, charitable corporations, (and others) to delineate the rights and responsibilities of stockholders, directors, and LLC members and charitable organization’s boards of directors and/or members. Today, with lawsuits buzzing like bees in the fall – owners, officers and directors, etc. need indemnification language, including for attorneys’ fees, in company or a charity’s documents. Charitable entities, as well as companies, need to maintain their records and filings. The former must preserve favorable charitable deductions for donations as required by the IRS for 501(c)(3). I have successfully helped companies to reduce the risk of such disputes for majority shareholders and LLC management members, etc.
Trade Secrets
Unfair Competition
Businesses have a variety of legal issues. Knowing the laws that businesses must obey helps me set up preventative measures or solve crises. For businesses, I negotiate reasonable severance and settlement agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with language protecting trade secrets, preventing raiding and unfair competition by former employees. I prepare and update Employee Handbooks, essential for the protection of both employees and employers. Without a handbook, companies may not have affirmative defenses in discrimination claims before the Massachusetts Commission against Discrimination (MCAD) or in the courts. Handbooks are the best way to provide employees with written expectations and policies, termination procedures and meet other governmental requirements. We include a Massachusetts sick leave policy and warning notices to document performance problems.

Wrongful Termination
Employment Discrimination
Achieved one of the best settlements according to company legal counsel in age discrimination/ breach of contract case brought by insurance co. executive
Employment Contract
Won motion for summary judgment in Superior Court on breach of fiduciary duty claim and interference with contract claim in case involving rights of minority/majority shareholders in closely held corporation – employment contract and obtained settlement on favorable terms, the amount sought in value of stock
Employment Litigation
Knowledge is power and we provide it! Many of today’s employees may not be aware of their legal rights. We provide business owners in Massachusetts with the advantages of having an attorney who has the perspective of handling both sides of employment issues. We help individuals with employment issues, such as discrimination claims, severance and settlement agreements. We help businesses with similar issues, but encourage preventive law – employment best practices, such as needed discrimination policies, advising on terminations, employee handbooks with update provisions as the law changes. The costs of non-compliance with employment laws can be high.
Non-compete Agreement
Update Your Nondisclosure Agreements: New and Complex Non-Compete Agreement Restrictions & Uniform Trade Secrets Act | Lawrence B. Morse & Associates
Severance Agreement
I try to get back to clients and other attorneys within a few minutes. The questions I ask you and our intake forms will give you confidence that I know my stuff and/ or how to drill down to get answers. The choice of an attorney is very personal. Meeting me for a consult will allow us to see if there is the necessary trust and chemistry and discuss expectations. If retained, I expect soon to present a choice of paths for you to take. When possible, preventive law works to lessen stress and cost for you! As a small business owner and having represented many businesses, I know what the problems / issues are that business owners face. In my work helping employees, I know how employees feel if they face discrimination and they are dismissed or need me to negotiation a severance package.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a particularly hurtful form of sex or gender discrimination, but what should you do about it and what changes in the law do we need.? It violates the person harassed, usually but not always a woman, often in the most intimate way, and may do lasting emotional harm, including to other relationships. […] Read more...

Real Estate Litigation
Real Estate Matters – We help businesses and individuals purchase and sale agreement language whether buyer or seller in addition to the Greater Boston Real Estate Board Broker’s standard form, reviewing and negotiating commercial leases with needed provisions for tenant.
Real Estate Transactions
Response Time & Character. Whether an individual or small business owner in Massachusetts or elsewhere, reaching me is easy. With a VOIP Phone system, I know when messages have been left and return calls promptly. While an in-person consult will reveal best if there is a good fit between lawyer and potential client, a short call can tell a lot. Clients will soon decide that they have an able, trustworthy, and attentive lawyer for their legal work. Much of the practice centers on solutions for employment and business matters, using creative approaches and allowing me to best help small business and individuals. Purchase and sale of a business is a focus of our work. Ancillary services include real estate transaction and estate planning and probating.
Eminent Domain
