Business and Corporate Law

We offer West Michigan clients a wide range of services to suit the needs of business enterprises of all kinds, including closely held corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, joint ventures, and strategic alliances, as well as the needs of financial institutions and investors.

It is common to use an attorney when starting a business, but legal advice is not only useful at the beginning, it can also be cost-effective over the life of a business. Well-crafted employment contracts and employee handbooks can help avoid discrimination lawsuits and ensure compliance with federal statutes (FMLA, FLSA, OSHA, ERISA, etc.). A strong purchase agreement can make collection more likely. Whether you are at the fun beginning, in the middle of a crisis, or deciding how to wind down a business, contact us or call our office at 616-458-3994 for assistance.
