INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We advise clients on wage & hour issues and compliance. We draft executive compensation packages, employee contracts and employee manuals, severance agreements, and advise business clients on all the federal and state labor laws to prevent employee litigation exposure and workplace disputes. We counsel clients about termination of employees, and assist with Employee Handbook and Policies packages for small to medium-size businesses.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

​

Our firm handles sale and lease agreements as well as developing construction exchanges, partnerships and joint ventures. Our clients include corporate businesses, real estate trusts, and high-net-worth investors.

While most of us try to resolve our disputes without litigation, sometimes it becomes necessary to commence court proceedings or indeed defend them if they are started against you. But, without the right advice and assistance, litigation can be a minefield. Our clients always have a willing and able friend in us to assist them through the litigation process. Whether you are an individual or a business we will give your case the care and attention it deserves.

​

Litigation can be stressful and expensive so in all cases an early assessment of the merits of your case is carried out to provide sound legal advice. Our aim is to provide a sensible and cost effective remedy to your problem whether the matter is proceeding through the courts or not.
