Business Law

Many people tend to idealistically think of businesses as financial ventures, but businesses are also legal endeavors. In California, business owners need to adhere to complex federal, state, and municipal laws regarding entity formation, compliance, licensing and permitting requirements, commercial leasing, employing workers, and more; in order to avoid losing profits, they also need to protect their intellectual property, conduct shareholder meetings correctly, ensure they get a fair deal in mergers and acquisitions, write clear contracts, and more. Trying to juggle all of the legalities while attending to the important day-to-day affairs of running a business can be draining, not to mention unwise.
