Business Law

Expert guidance through all stages of your business

Our goal at West Michigan Law is to provide your business with general counsel services throughout the entire life cycle of your business. From the very beginning idea stage, we provide new business owners with an hour of free consultation to pick our brains about anything from selecting the right business entity, to protecting a trademark, to hiring your first employee.

As your company matures, we can provide business legal services to help you purchase or lease a new building, add additional owners, or negotiate contracts with new vendors.

When it is finally time to retire into the sunset as a successful entrepreneur, we can help you with succession planning for transferring your business to the next generation – or finding a third party to purchase your company.

Specialty Areas in Business Law

  • Purchase & Sale

    Whether you are buying or selling a manufacturing company, a restaurant, a hair salon, or anything in between, I have the transactional experience to help guide you through the legal negotiation and paperwork every step of the way.

  • Business Succession Planning

    I work closely with the owners of family-owned businesses to ensure that through the appropriate tools of estate planning and business documentation, the vision and legacy of your company is carried on into the future.

  • Nonprofit Organizations

    Whether you are part of a 501(c)(3), a church, or a private foundation, I have experience working with executive directors and boards to make sure all of your nonprofit's legal paperwork is complete and up to date.

  • Entity Formation

    There are different ways to organize your business, each with its own pros and cons. I can help guide you to the right entity choice for your start-up business after discussing your short and long term goals.
