Pennsylvania
Business Law

Incorporation

Launch on solid ground. We advise on LLC vs. corporation, ownership structure, and tax elections (in coordination with your CPA). We handle PA Department of State filings, EIN guidance, initial resolutions, and tailored bylaws/operating agreements—so governance, signatures, and decision-making are clear from day one.

Partnership

Protect the relationship and the business. We form and register general/limited/LLP partnerships and draft comprehensive partnership agreements covering capital contributions, authority, profit/loss allocation, distributions, buy-sell triggers, deadlock, withdrawals, and restrictive covenants. Practical terms now prevent costly disputes later.

Zoning Change

From feasibility to hearing. We assess zoning and land-use options, prepare rezoning/variance/special-exception applications, coordinate with planners and stakeholders, and represent you before local boards under Pennsylvania’s MPC. You get a strategy, a clear record, and focused advocacy through the vote.

Asset Purchase & Stock Purchase

Buy or sell with clarity. We structure asset vs. equity deals, run diligence, and draft LOIs, purchase agreements, reps/warranties, non-competes, and transition terms. We manage consents (leases, contracts, lenders), handle UCC and closing deliverables, and align risk, price, and timeline with your goals.

Lease Review & Negotiation

Know your costs and your outs. We review and negotiate retail/office/industrial leases—rent and escalations, CAM/operating expenses, build-out and delivery, use/exclusivity, assignment/sublease, SNDAs, guaranties, casualty/condemnation, and default remedies—so the paper matches your business plan.

Business Contracts

Documents you can use—and enforce. We draft and review MSAs/SOWs, vendor and customer agreements, NDAs, licensing and distribution deals, SaaS/technology terms, and web policies. Expect plain-English risk allocation (IP ownership, indemnities, limits of liability), practical service levels, and clean termination rights.

Corporate Litigation

When disputes arise, we move fast and focused. We handle breach-of-contract claims, shareholder/member conflicts, fiduciary-duty issues, non-compete enforcement/defense, business torts, books-and-records demands, injunctions, and negotiated resolutions in Pennsylvania courts. Early case assessment aims to control cost and leverage outcomes.

Liquor License Transfer

Navigate PLCB requirements with confidence. We handle person-to-person, place-to-place, and inter-municipal transfers; agreements of sale; diligence on license history; municipal approvals; postings and hearings; and closing/escrow mechanics. Clean filings and timelines keep your opening—or expansion—on track.
