Extensive Business Law Knowledge

The goal of the business team is to achieve practical, cost-effective solutions for any business situation. Our seasoned attorneys have years -- sometimes decades of experience in a board range of industries.

Business Entity Formation

KDDK business attorneys help companies decide which entity will be most beneficial to the business and business owner, be it a C corporation, S corporation, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), limited liability partnership (LLP), professional corporation (PC) or other business arrangement. Because tax implications vary greatly based on company type, skilled guidance on the adoption of the operating structure best suited for a business or organization is vitally important.

Business Mergers and Acquisitions

The firm's business team guides clients through the complicated process of selling or acquiring a business, including succession plans for family-owned businesses. The acquisition or sale of a business involves not only the decision to structure a transaction as an asset or stock sale, but also requires consideration of such issues as tax and regulatory requirements.

Commercial Finance

KDDK attorneys represent lending institutions and publicly and privately held businesses with particular emphasis on the negotiation of loan documents that will affect a company's future flexibility and rights. Due to the time-sensitive aspects of commercial finance, KDDK attorneys are accustomed to providing this work quickly.

Business Agreements and Contracts

The most important element in forming documents for the maintenance of relationships with customers, suppliers and employees involves the creation of succinct, well-written contracts that minimize any risk of litigation. The KDDK business team has extensive experience at assisting businesses with the formation of effective employment agreements, confidentiality agreements, manufacturing and supply agreements, manufacturers' representative agreements, joint ventures and other agreements necessary in today's business environment.

Corporate Governance

KDDK advises its clients on rights and responsibilities concerning directors, officers and shareholders because advance attention to operational and procedural issues may prevent liability that could substantially impact an individual's personal wealth.
