Business law is a broad area of law which governs the formation, operation and dissolution of businesses, and - if applicable - the relationships between partners or entities involved in the business. It often involves securing a business's legal foundation, to protect the business's interests and ensure legal compliance.
Choosing and forming the right type of business (such as an LLC, Corporation, Partnership, etc.) is a critical first-step in ensuring the long-term success of a business; and, can influence the protection of personal assets and tax oblications of owners while outlining management structures.
Businesses are subject to many laws, including local, state and federal regulations. These may cover tax law, employment law, environmental regulations and more. A business law attorney helps to ensure that the business complies with all of these rules, avoiding costly fines or potential legal trouble.
Businesses regularly enter into contracts with customers, suppliers, employees and other businesses. A business law attorney drafts clear, legally sound contracts that protect the business's interests while ensuring all parties understand their rights and obligations. If a contract is breached, a business law attorney can help resolve the dispute or enforce the contract in court.
As businesses grow, they may need to merge with or aquire other companies, raise capital, or enter new markets. A business law attorney helps to navigate these complex transactions, ensuring that the client's interest are protected and that they comply with all legal requirements.
A business law attorney helps plan for the future of the business, whether it's selling the business, passing it on to the next generation, or widing it down. An exit strategy is crucial for business owners to ensure they get the best value from their investments when selling or transitioning the business.

If a business is not properly structured in formatiuon, owners could be personally responsible for debts accrued by the business.
Ambiguities or weaknesses in contracts can lead to expensive and time-consuming legal disputes.
Failing to comply with tax, environmental or employment laws could result in fines or other legal consequences.
