Connecticut Business Services Attorney

Whether you are forming a new business or purchasing an existing one, you will need the assistance of competent counsel to ensure that the transaction is completed properly, that your rights are protected, and that the corporate records and books are complete and up-to-date. At the law office of Carl Ferraro, Attorney at Law, we are proud to offer experienced, comprehensive, step-by-step assistance to both existing businesses and those individuals wishing to create a business organization.

Business Startup

The first step in starting a new business is selecting whether it will be a sole proprietorship, partnership, joint venture, “S” or “C” corporation, LLC (Limited Liability Company), or other type of business entity. We have helped numerous clients with formation. Our firm will instruct you on the necessary steps to form your business and keep you apprised of the costs involved.

Business Purchase

Asset purchases, stock purchases, and franchise agreements all require careful analysis of the practical and legal implications of purchasing an on-going business. We will advise you on what needs to be done to protect all of your rights while seeking to make the transition from old owner to new owner as smooth as possible.

Buy-Sell Agreements

It is important to establish agreements that cover business succession issues, such as partner buy-outs or the death of an owner, before the situation arises.

Employment Contracts, Non-Compete and Trade Secret Agreements

Protecting your business organization’s legal rights is especially important when you are part of an industry where there are trade secrets, copyright issues, or costly consequences for not having comprehensive legal agreements in place.

Employee Manuals and Policies

Having clear-cut employee manuals and guidelines benefits all parties. A perceptive attorney can help anticipate potential labor problems or policy loopholes.

Government Regulation

Due to the complex, ever-changing government regulation of business organizations, it is important to retain a lawyer who is knowledgeable of the current federal and state rules governing your industry and your business.

Contracts and Leases

Careful review of contracts and rental property leases by a competent attorney can save costly litigation down the road.

Financing

Whether it is a loan or line of credit, we assist both borrowers and lenders in commercial financial transactions. We will prepare and review all documentation necessary to effectuate your transaction and will protect your rights throughout the process.

Litigation

One of the mainstays of our practice is business litigation. We have considerable experience in this area and will vigorously prosecute or defend your interests. We have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in all types of business disputes, including shareholder disputes, contract negotiations, construction litigation, collections, and mechanics liens. We also effectively represent clients in mediation and other Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes.
