Business Law for Virginia Companies
In any business, the operation and success of the business are determined by the company's ability to follow guidelines. Most business operations — from buying or selling a building to writing and enforcing employee contracts — are governed by contracts and legal regulations. Regardless of the age of the business, having good legal counsel can help a business operate with fewer problems.

Building a Strong Foundation for Small Businesses
Many people have excellent ideas for their business, but they do not understand the legal ramifications of their choices. Sound legal counsel can help build a strong foundation for a business, minimizing the risk of unnecessary lawsuits and problems down the road. I help clients determine what entity is most appropriate for their small business, including S-corporation, limited liability company (LLC) or partnership. I also offer clients ongoing legal counsel on for matters that arise in the ongoing operations of a business, including:
- Employment contracts
- Hiring and termination matters
- Employer discrimination matters
- Insurance claims
As the owner of a small business, I know the practical and legal side of running a business. I understand the pressures and the needs of being an owner, and I can provide the advice to put your venture on sound legal footing.
