BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL LAW

> back to practice group list

MRR’s Business & Commercial law attorneys assist business clients with legal counsel and advice on all aspects of their business operation and commercial transactions, including new business formation, shareholder, partnership, and operating agreements, succession planning, asset acquisition and transfers, non-competition and buy-sell agreements, confidentiality, trade secrets, and intellectual property, and many other issues that crop up in the modern business environment. Our clients include industrial and service corporations, insurance and financial service businesses, health care companies, professionals, contractors, restaurants, and various individual entrepreneurs. Our attorneys also handle a variety of real estate development matters on behalf of public entities and developers including building permit applications, rezoning issues, conditional use permits, condominium development, and governance and Telecommunications Act cases. We strive to avoid litigation by providing sound preventive counseling and planning, but when lawsuits are filed, our attorneys stand ready to provide outstanding and cost-effective representation.
