Frequently Asked Questions
We know that starting or running a business can be complex, and you may have numerous questions. We are here to help, so here are some of the questions we see most:
How do I protect personal assets from business liability?
One way to do this is simply to consider how you structure your business. If you start a sole proprietorship, for example, then you would be responsible for paying back loans, and your personal assets could be at risk. But if you start a limited liability company (LLC), then only the company is responsible for paying off its own debt. This protects your personal assets, regardless of what happens to the business.
How are shareholder interests protected during mergers and acquisitions?
Shareholders have a vested interest in the future of the company, so they will often negotiate the terms during a merger or acquisition. It’s also important to identify who has a fiduciary duty to the business or the best interests of these shareholders. They must act in good faith, and dissenting shareholders must be given a chance to voice their position. In some cases, these decisions can only be made with a vote.
How can the firm help me negotiate complex commercial contracts?
One of the major benefits of working with our firm is our experience. We’ve been through these complex negotiations many times. We understand exactly what the contract should entail and how to negotiate while putting your best interests first. We can help you protect your company with these contracts.
We will review the various clauses and contingencies that are present and ensure that everything is being done correctly and legally before you sign any documentation. If there are future disputes over the contract terms, we can also help seek a resolution that is fair and just.
How do I protect business data from breaches?
You can often do this by using different types of intellectual property tools. For instance, you can have your employees sign nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) so that they can’t take company secrets with them if they choose to leave the business. You can also look into patents, trademarks and copyrights to protect your data.
Our team can help you put the contractual framework in place to limit the chances of a breach and take legal action if an employee violates the terms.
