When you’re in business, you have to juggle many issues in your day-to-day operations. Our HIGH PERFORMANCE LAW™ team can help you with a wide scope of Business & Corporate Law issues including:

  • Business Formation
  • Business Litigation and Mediation
  • Business Succession
  • Incorporations
  • Limited Liability Companies (LLCs )
  • Mergers & Acquisitions
  • Partnerships
  • Shareholder Agreements

Depending on your personal and financial considerations, you may want to consider a Limited Liability Company (LLC), which merges the personal liability protection of a corporation with the tax benefits and closer control of the partnership. We have extensive experience structuring LLCs to help you build a solid foundation that takes full advantage of the unique legal and tax benefits such an entity offers. We will advise and represent you every step of the way – from the initial formation to any ongoing business or legal matters throughout the life of the LLC.

When you’re looking to strengthen your business position and increase market share through a Merger or Acquisition , Hutchens Law Firm can examine, advise you and structure your deal to bolster and protect your interests. Our experienced team will begin by conducting due diligence to examine the business prospect to help establish a sound partnership and investment.

Nonprofits or tax-exempt organizations face their own unique set of complex rules that allow them to operate with tax-exempt status. While they enjoy great benefits due to the public services they provide, they require even greater vigilance due to strict regulatory compliance that governs their special status. You need a keen eye, matched with the knowledge to review operations and keep track of new regulations so that your tax-exempt status is accurate. Whatever your cause and interests, we can help you support them with a guiding hand throughout the life of your nonprofit. From foundations and charities to social welfare and social clubs, we have the experience to advise you on daily interests and compliance issues.

When you enter into a business with one or more partners, you’re rightfully excited and focused on establishing and growing the business with a foundation of trust. But legally there are critical considerations pertaining to management structure, ownership, and control that must be properly addressed so that everyone’s interests can be equally protected. We’ll sit with you to examine your business plans and advise you on the best options for structures to serve your needs and protect your interests. We can also advise you on all ongoing business interests throughout the lifetime of your Partnership .

At Hutchens Law Firm, our team has extensive experience structuring or amending Shareholder Agreements so that equitable arrangements protect the interests of all involved. Creating a clearly-defined foundation for shareholders now can help avoid disputes in the future by spelling out all issues that range from capital investment and profit distribution to management and control.

Administrative Law pertains to dealing with government agencies regarding whatever topic over which they have regulatory authority: city planning and zoning, obtaining permits, business licensing, health codes, real estate, contractors licensing, etc. The list is as broad and complex as the government agencies themselves.  

Examples where you may need an Administrative Law attorney include:

  • Obtaining proper licensing or permits
  • Business license
  • Liquor / cabaret licenses
  • Building and construction permit
  • Opening and operation places of public accommodation
  • Retail spaces
  • Bars / restaurants / nightclubs
  • Hotels / B&B
  • Appeal of violations (health, zoning, etc.)
  • Real estate development
  • City planning and zoning issues
  • Obtaining government incentives and benefits for property or economic development
  • Dealing with matters before state licensing agencies and handling appeals from advise/disciplinary actions

Any time you need to engage, seek approval or dispute a city, state or federal agency, for any sort of permit, license or violation, you're going to want a HIGH PERFORMANCE LAW™ team by your side - one that’s armed with a skillset to guide you through this vastly complex process. 

Our team is well-versed in the legal and political matters that can lead to a successful application or appeal in any of the multitude of matters that fall under the regulatory umbrella of administrative law. In fact, our lawyers have presented seminars on how to handle administrative law cases to other lawyers. We can guide you through the complex processes with an acute awareness of the legalities that govern the various agencies and the issues under their authority.
