Businesses Are What We Do, And We Do It Well. 

Contract Law

We are highly qualified in the types of contracts that businesses typically employ daily, including construction, technology, and intellectual property (IP) contracts. Our services include drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts on your behalf, so that you can have confidence that the agreement you are entering into is an exceptional one. Weak contracts could lead to financial losses, legal disputes, disruptions to daily operations, a damaged reputation, and more. A practiced attorney can ensure that the terms of each contract you sign are fair and reasonable and will play a part in your company reaching its long-term goals.

Tax Law

Trouble with the IRS or other tax entities could jeopardize the future of any business, and even leave your personal finances vulnerable to liability. Our qualified Orange County business lawyers can lend their tax planning and tax compliance skills to your company so that you can be assured your finances are aligned with state and federal mandates, and avoid costly audits that could result in expensive penalties. 

In addition, our team can help you take advantage of lucrative tax credits that your company may be eligible for, such as investment tax credits, Work Opportunity Tax Credits (WOTC), renewable energy tax credits, and the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC). The ERTC was implemented by the IRS in 2020 as an incentive to reward and encourage employers who retained existing employees throughout 2020 and into 2021 while the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the workforce. The tax credit is notoriously underutilized, but the capital that is available to business owners is sizable. The refund could be used to invest in your company and grow your market!

Corporate Structure Advice

For owners who are preparing to commence their business venture or those looking to restructure, choosing the right structure is the first step in securing the longevity of your business. We will explain your options as well as the pros and cons, of each type of corporate structure. 

Trademark Application And Other Intellectual Property Protection

The trademark application process can be complex, as with most other formal forms of intellectual property protection. Whether you need to file a patent, trademark, or copyright protection application, our Orange County business lawyers can simplify the process and put you in the best position for approval.
