Business Transactions and Litigation in Los Angeles
At the Law Offices of Zachary D. Wechsler, we advise and represent business entities on matters ranging from initial formation and registration to the enforcement of agreements and transactions in court. Along the way, we can help you with employment law matters, licensing and regulatory compliance problems, the negotiation of contracts and lease terms, and the resolution of disputes concerning management or shareholder issues. For a free consultation about your business formation opportunity or contract litigation problem, contact Southern California business lawyer Zach Wechsler.
For entrepreneurs, new business startups, or newly forming partnerships, we can advise you about the benefits and disadvantages of your various entity selection alternatives: S-corporation, limited liability company, business or nonprofit corporation, general or limited partnership. We help you find the business form that best suits your equity structure and risk management needs.
We can also advise you about documenting your essential management arrangements, corporate governance agreements, and operating contracts through negotiating and drafting such agreements as the following:
- Corporate bylaws, partnership agreements, or operating agreements
- Buy-sell agreements, confidentiality or trade secrets agreements, and noncompete agreements
- Vendor and customer contracts, real estate or equipment leases, licensing or distribution agreements, and other instruments essential to your daily operations
- Insurance policies and indemnification agreements
- Business and commercial loan transactions, including security agreements, guaranties and pledges
- Employment, independent contractor and executive compensation agreements
Business litigation is an important focus of our practice, and we are prepared to stand behind our advice and documentation in court. We can represent your interests in corporate or partnership disputes, commercial collections, contract litigation, administrative agency hearings, and lawsuits involving such business torts as breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, misrepresentation, nondisclosure, or unfair competition. Our skill and experience with such alternative dispute resolution procedures as mediation and arbitration can also help you find prompt and efficient ways to achieve your objectives without the risks and expenses of full-blown civil litigation.
Our experience with business transactions and litigation is wide and varied. Our clients come from the fields of real estate, property management, software design, entertainment, construction, health care, and many other industries and professions.
