If your business is expanding and you’re in need of a new legal entity to represent you, contact The Fitzgerald Law Firm. We will ensure your new entity meets your needs. Whether your concern is tax advantages or employee programs (health insurance, life insurance, stock participation programs, or 401(k) investment programs), or you’re simply seeking to simplify your corporate structure, we can help.
Business Agreements
Entering into an agreement with anyone requires trust. It also requires an assurance that your agreement will not leave you penniless in years to come. Regardless of what you look to accomplish with your business partners, it is best to discuss potential pitfalls of a partnership at the launch of an agreement.
Non-compete Agreements
The courts and legislature of Wisconsin are not fond of non-compete agreements. They have fought to ensure that these agreements are made as narrow as possible. The Fitzgerald Law Firm understands that when it comes to scope, duration, and geographic restrictions, you have certain rights and limitations. We encourage you to create a non-compete clause that will keep talent in your business and away from your competitors’.
Buying or Selling a Business
There is much to consider when buying or selling a business: what does the other party expect? Will you sign a non-compete agreement? Should you sell or lease the land? What about the building? Will the buyer expect you to stay on as a manager or a consultant? If so, for how long? As a buyer, will you rent, lease, or buy? Will the mortgage be handled through a bank or the seller? What will the payments be? Will there be a balloon? What happens if you default? How will current employees far? All of these questions and more must be answered before you agree to buy or sell a business. Don’t neglect any of these considerations and don’t stress over their implications. Let us help you.
