BUSINESS/CORPORATE LAW

 

The law attorneys at Gabriel Berry & Weston have significant experience in the formation, sale, reorganization, and continuing management of businesses. We prepare articles of incorporation or organization, bylaws, operating agreements, shareholder agreements, employment agreements, contracts, leases and real estate agreements for a wide range of individuals and companies, including limited liability corporations and partnerships.

Our long-term relationships with business and corporate clients permit us to regularly provide advice on an array of matters. We make it our business to get to know clients’ businesses so that we can tailor our legal strategies to their goals.  

We focus our ongoing consultation toward avoiding future litigation.  

When litigation arises, we offer clients decades of experience at the negotiating table and in the courtroom. Our attorneys draw on this experience in devising a litigation strategy that will attain the best possible results for our clients. We have considerable experience with mediation as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism.

Business and individual clients turn to us when relationships turn acrimonious and their interests are at risk. We have successfully handled contract disputes; business torts, such as interference with business or contractual relationships; fraud; insurance disputes; mismanagement; breach of stockholder agreements; breach of employment contracts; government regulation matters; and employee wage, benefit and discrimination claims.
Our legal team also possesses significant experience in handling tax issues. We represent clients in state and federal audits of sales and use taxes, business taxes, personal taxes and estate taxes.

Our recent accomplishments include successfully resolving trade secrets claims and non-competition agreement challenges, as well as obtaining injunctions on behalf of clients.
