Legal Help to Start Your Business and Keep it on the Right Path

Your business’s health is more than a financial marker – it represents incredible time invested, ideas cultivated, and the burden of seemingly endless decisions to be made. Whether you’re still in the early stages, when an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, or despite all your best intentions, something has gone awry, the advice of an experienced attorney can keep you on track and save your business a lot of money.

At Peck Baxter Watkins & Bailey, we understand the many steps involved with starting or running a business, and offer assistance on a wide range of issues – from good advice, to expert legal representation, when it’s needed.

Details slip through the cracks, no matter how careful you are. Whether you are in your business’s initial planning stages, considering a merger, acquisition, or drafting buy/sell agreements, allow our law firm to guide you through a checklist designed to protect your business from a range of liabilities, so that you can act with confidence. This can also include:

  • Choice of entity

  • Intellectual property protection

  • Board and advisor governance

  • Licensing and partnering agreements

  • Joint ventures and strategic alliances

  • Employment matters and equity compensation

  • Real estate purchase and leasing

  • Dispute resolution and litigation

Our attorneys offer advice that helps you build and maintain a solid business foundation, allowing your business to avoid any liabilities that could derail future growth.

Experienced Business Litigation Attorneys
