LEGAL OFFERINGS

  • BUSINESS LAW, but you knew that and what does it really include?

    • Business law is broad, you’ve got that right! We handle most matters pertaining to your business, and if we cannot, we have broad connections and know who to call or where to direct you.

    • We handle one-off business matters for some clients, and act as outside general counsel for even more!

    • An outside general counsel is an attorney who is not an employee but who brings the experience and knowledge necessary to handle a broad array of legal and business matters whenever needed, without the expense of having a full-time attorney on staff. For these clients, when you call we will know the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of your business, which brings familiarity and comfortability that blind-calling an attorney just can’t offer.

    • Hoping to form a charitable business model, we can assist with that too! Non-Profits, B Corporations and other creative alternatives are all paths to incorporating your passion for giving with your business mind.

  • DISPUTES (Business, Insurance, Injury)

    • Oh how we know that disputes are never fun, but inevitably they arise. We have a wonderful team of litigators who can guide you through disputes of all natures.

  • INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (Trademark, Copyright, Trade Dress)

    • Advising on use and enforcement.

    • Advising on Fair Use.

    • Knockout Searches and Clearance Opinions.

    • Trademark registrations and subsequent communication.

    • Cease and Desist and/or Demand Letters.

    • Trademark and Copyright License and/or Sale Agreements.

  • MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

    • Are you building with hopes to sell? or merge? or pass down your business? It is commonly thought that mergers and acquisitions are reserved only for large companies. However, M&A takes place at every size and for a variety of reasons. As a business owner it is important to understand the importance of M&A, how it may benefit your company, and the factors that should be considered when considering this path. The Creative’s Counsel is here to assist you with any questions that you may have, whether it be looking into the far future or a merger happening just around the corner.

  • TEAM STRUCTURE & COMPLIANCE

    • Building your team? With whom? What roles? What are you entrusting each person with? Sorting through classification and determining what each position entails is commonly misunderstood, so let us help you sort through it.

  • STRATEGIC GROWTH (Investors, ESOP, Expansion)

    • Do you have your sites set on growth? It is never too early! The wonderful thing about being an entrepreneur is having the ability to grow in your own time, at your own pace, and how best suits you and your vision. We work with our clients to understand the various paths to growth at many stages in their business models, so that when the time comes they are comfortable identifying a timeline and the support needed to do so.

  • REAL ESTATE

    • Many of our clients have come to us to draft the real estate documents necessary to sell and buy property, especially when they aren’t involving a realtor.

    • Are you looking to lease an office space? Find a new spot for your business? Simply wondering what it would take to own your own space? The Creative’s Counsel is able to offer transactional and concept advice, review real estate contracts and financing documentation, or find an expert who may be best able to assist you with your specific real estate need.
