Guidance To Help Your Business Grow
If you plan on starting, purchasing, joining or investing in a business, you need an experienced business lawyer.
Since 1995, we have helped our clients form their businesses properly; comply with complex rules when raising money; negotiate and draft contracts and leases; navigate employment matters; comply with applicable laws and regulations; plan for succession; and protect their vital business interests in court, if court becomes necessary. The earlier we join your team, the more we can offer. Preparedness not only helps to ensure a favorable outcome but can also deter lawsuits.
Offering A Unique Experience To Every Client
At MacDonald Law, P.C., our attorney limits the areas in which he practices, and we consider every client’s unique circumstances, to offer the highest quality service we can. We are not a general practice. We do not practice family law, criminal defense, personal injury or bankruptcy. We do, however, know many of the best lawyers in those other fields, and, if the need arises, can assist our clients in locating additional qualified counsel.
Many of our business clients also consult us for their real estate, estate planning and asset protection needs. If you need help in any of these areas, please contact us for a complimentary consultation.

Why Do You Need An Attorney To Start A Business?
There are many reasons to employ an attorney when starting a business. The process can be time-consuming, and the paperwork can feel endless. If you don’t set up your business entity correctly, your personal assets could be tied up in your business, which means you could be held personally liable if your business fails.
The sooner you get an attorney involved in your business, the better. At MacDonald Law, P.C., we help clients set up their businesses correctly and create plans to help them thrive.
Can You Pass A Business On To A Family Member In Your Will?
Most likely, yes. While every situation is different, the sooner you determine who will inherit your business, the better. Even if you are the sole proprietor of a company, it’s important to determine who will inherit it long before you anticipate passing on. Usually, the process to transfer ownership of a business is outlined in a business succession plan, which can be established as part of your estate plan. Our attorney is skilled in both estate planning and business law, and we can help you ensure that your business is safely passed on to your beneficiary in the future.
Do You Need An Attorney To Write A Contract?
Regardless of what kind of contract you need, it’s always a good idea to have that contract drafted or reviewed by an attorney. A contract is a legally binding agreement between parties that could have a significant impact on your business’s ability to operate if it is breached. Whether you need an employment contract or a contract with a supplier, ensuring that you have a well-written contract is one of the best ways to protect both you and your business.
