Business Law
The three most dangerous words in the English language are “Open for Business.” With the American dream comes great liability and responsibility. A business owner cannot forget an important tool in the growth and development of his or her business: a practical, experienced business law attorney. From formation, operation, and winding down of a business there are many laws – business law, contract law, fair labor standards, L&I, B&O – of which a business owner must be aware and follow. With firsthand experience in small business and nonprofits, our attorneys take legal problems and provide sound business solutions – solutions that are presented in layman’s terms and not legalese. We pride ourselves on our ability to communicate with our clients, understand your business owner needs, and take them in consideration as we help you start a new business, draft a contract, develop operating policies and procedures, or address a customer or employee complaint.
