Our attorneys are equipped to meet all of your legal needs throughout the life of your business assisting in its formation, helping meet the changing demands of growth and, if necessary, assisting in divestiture. We can advise you on preparation and drafting of contracts, including documents necessary to corporate governance such as buy-sell agreements, by-laws and corporate resolutions, mergers and acquisitions, franchising, finance, tax incentives and economic development, HR and employment issues, Board of Directors and management responsibilities, as well as issues involving business dissolution.
We can provide these services on an “as needed” basis or as part of our “In-House Counsel” program. Some business executives, particularly those leading small or emerging companies would like an attorney on the management team to serve as a sounding board. They want the services of an attorney who is familiar with the company, its personnel and culture but don’t want to worry about the cost every time they need to ask a simple question. They want to spend less time managing legal issues and more time growing the business. They have plenty of legal issues but not enough to justify adding a full-time attorney. Smith Coonrod Mohlman’s “In-House Counsel” program (hyperlink to page) allows a company to obtain the services of an attorney for an agreed number of hours for a flat fee at a cost significantly less than the usual hourly rate. Our attorneys become a part of your team without breaking the bank.
