PRATICE AREAS
FORMATION OF BUSINESS ENTITIES
Organizing and Incorporating Your Business
Sweat & Associates, PLLC can help you determine the most appropriate type of entity for your new business venture. There are many different structures, each with its own costs and benefits. A brief description of the various structures available is located in the Articles section of our website. We will also help you draft your shareholder agreements and management plans. It is crucial to establish how your business will be governed during the earliest phases of operation.
Consumer Credit and Finance Organizations
Our firm has many practice areas and represents a wide variety of clients. However, our practice is focused on consumer and commercial litigation, particularly in the areas of consumer credit and finance. We can help your company navigate the large volume of ever-changing consumer finance regulation. We are also ready to protect your business against claims for violations of statutory consumer protections. Call our firm today for any questions you may have about setting up or defending a consumer credit or finance organization.
Operating Your Business
Once your business is formed, you will need a standard set of contracts to use with vendors, customers and business partners. You may also need contracts with key employees to protect any trade secrets, privileged information, and goodwill your business has cultivated. We can help draft and update your standard contracts. We can also draft and enforce your non-competition, non-disclosure, and non-solicitation contracts with your employees. More information about these services can be found on the Contracts and Employment Agreements page.
Business Disputes and Contract Litigation
In the event a customer or business dispute cannot be resolved amicably, we will provide services to help you find a solution. We do not take a “one-size-fits-all” approach to our representation. Some situations call for friendly negotiated resolution, and others simply must be resolved through litigation. We are prepared to represent your best interests while maintaining your business relationships and upholding your company’s reputation. If you have been sued, we will vigilantly protect your business in court.
If your business has delinquent accounts, or if a non-paying client files for bankruptcy, you will need strong advocacy to protect your rights and collect any amounts due. We offer a full range of collection services including liens and other pre-litigation remedies. If necessary, we can prosecute your claim in court and attempt to collect on a judgment. More detailed information can be found on the Collections and Creditor’s Rights page.
