Comprehensive business law services in the San Joaquin Valley

As the oldest continuously operating law firm in Tulare County, our firm has advised businesses through many changes in our many years of practice. We have substantial experience identifying the goals of business owners and developing strategies to reach those goals. Our attorneys offer complete business law services in the following areas:

  • Business formation: We work closely with business owners during the critical beginning stages of business formation. Depending on the type of business, number of partners, liabilities and other factors, we advise on choice of entity. We handle formation of entities such as corporations, partnerships, limited partnerships (LPs) and limited liability companies (LLCs).
  • Ongoing business transactions: We meet the ongoing legal needs of businesses in the areas of company mergers and acquisitions, stock sales, asset sales, buy-sell agreements, cross-purchase programs, entity purchase programs, business reorganizations and sales contracts.
  • Business litigation: Our firm protects the rights of business owners involved in business disputes, breach of contract claims, creditor actions, business dissolutions and more. We participate in mediation, arbitration and litigation, pursuing the method most pertinent to your situation.
  • Family business reorganizations: Our lawyers frequently represent family farms of significant wealth. Farms often involve multi-generational relationships. We can guide you and your family through farm reorganizations, restructuring and spinoffs. This is often done in partnership with our estate planning services, which focus heavily on wealth transfer.
