There are many reasons you may require a business lawyer in Chicago. When you go with Gordon Law Group, you can rely on our team. Here are some of the top areas of business law we handle:
Business formation is the first step to entrepreneurial success! Although registering your business is fairly straightforward, choosing the right type of entity and creating custom partnership agreements are not. These decisions affect your taxes, take home pay, future fundraising opportunities, and much more.
We’ll help you choose the right entity to ensure you’re saving money and staying aligned with your goals. We’re always available to answer your questions!
Your business will likely require a contract lawyer no matter what industry you’re in. Whether you’re dealing with partnership agreements, equity compensation, investor contracts, terms of service, or contractual disputes, our business law attorneys in Chicago are here to help. We pride ourselves on working efficiently, with a meticulous eye for detail.
Do you simply need a trusted lawyer you can call for any questions or issues that arise? Outside general counsel is the most cost-effective option for small businesses. With a wide range of services, Gordon Law Group is a one-stop shop for your legal and tax needs! Contact us to learn about affordable outside general counsel.
Ensuring your business follows marketing and advertising laws is critical. Any claims you make through marketing or advertising must be evidence-based and truthful—and a simple disclaimer isn’t always enough to protect you. In no way can your marketing be deceptive. If so, you may find yourself in need of defense against an FTC lawsuit.
Our advertising compliance review services ensure you’re covered!
Mergers and acquisitions come in many forms. You might be using your business to purchase a competitor’s assets, or maybe you’re combining two separate businesses into a single legal entity. Our business attorneys are highly experienced with private M&A deals of all shapes and sizes.
You need to be prepared for a wide array of tax requirements as a business. Luckily, Gordon Law Group’s attorneys are highly knowledgeable about Tax Law as well as Business Law!
Your attorney will be by your side every step of the way to ensure you comply and only pay the amount of business taxes you are required to. The taxes you will need to pay and the forms you must file will be based on your business structure. You might be expected to:
A Chicago business lawyer who also understands tax law can not only keep the IRS off your back, but also unlock significant tax savings!
Intellectual property refers to property that is not physical but comes from an individual’s ideas and intellect. Some of the areas of law your business lawyer should be able to handle surrounding intellectual property include:
The Securities Exchange Commission has been taking harsh actions against companies that sell unregistered securities in the cryptocurrency industry. If you’re creating a new exchange, wallet, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), or blockchain-based games, you’ll need to comply with securities law or risk serious persecution. We can help you and your company operate safely in the securities marketplace.
Your business lawyer can help to ensure your individual and business assets are protected from potential creditors. With our asset protection techniques, creditors will have limited access to your most valuable assets while you remain in compliance with state and federal laws.
When operating your business globally, you need a business attorney with extensive experience and knowledge of international business laws. Our Chicago business attorneys are here to help with many types of international business matters, including:
If you find yourself dealing with a business dispute, having a business lawyer step in and handle the litigation matters could help give you the peace of mind you deserve. In many cases, we can resolve the issue independently and avoid expensive court proceedings.
