Among other issues, the firm’s attorneys regularly advise clients about starting, buying, growing, and selling businesses; such day-to-day operational issues of any private- or public-sector organization as taxes, employment law, financing, collections, and intellectual property; and such personal concerns as wills, estate planning, retirement planning, marital planning, probate, trusts, guardians, conservators, and real estate purchases and investments.
