Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
The Derbes Law Firm understands that every new company is not created equally, and the needs of each newly formed entity vary greatly. Some new smaller companies just need advice on entity election and formation, which can generally be performed on a flat fee basis. However, many new companies involve a more complex formation, needing advise on management, taxation, voting, real estate, etc., which work is performed on an hourly fee basis. The firm is adept at navigating clients through issues even when those issues may not be obvious, culminating in corporate governance documents tailored specifically to your new company.

Businesses and their owners need effective representation in Court, whether that is prosecuting a claim on behalf of the business against a third party or defending a lawsuit.

All of such representation requires an understanding of the business matters being litigated. The commercial litigation team’s breadth of business experience outside of court provides that understanding.
