Whether you are starting a new business, expanding, or buying an existing business, an experienced business attorney is integral to the success of your business. Our goal at Donohue McKenney Ltd. is to instill smart business practices by advising clients on how to avoid unnecessary risks and minimize liabilities.
We assist clients in forming many different types of business entities including corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships. When dealing with a typical startup business, we assist in educating the client of the different business entity choices, recommending an entity, and preparing all initial organizational documents. For example, to start a limited liability company, we would prepare Articles of Organization, Operating Agreement, Member Control Agreement, Ownership Registers and Certificates, Meeting Minutes, and Federal Tax Number Applications.
We are unique in that we track key timelines for all of our businesses and send reminders. For example, we send reminders to each business of their annual board meeting dates along with the types of things that should be documented in a board resolution.
We offer assistance throughout the course of the operation of your business such as drafting leases, independent contractor agreements, shareholder agreements, employment agreements, personnel handbooks, non-compete agreements, annual minutes, as well as advising on a wide range of other issues that arise during the course of running of a business.
We provide these services to single-person shops up to businesses with more than 50 owners and employees, including:
We also handle the purchase, acquisition, merger or sale of businesses, and help our clients ensure that the contracts or buy-sell agreements they sign are well drafted and protect their interests.
Disagreements are bound to arise within businesses. Donohue McKenney Ltd. has years of experience representing business clients in the litigation of business disputes including breach of contract claims, negligence, fraud, trade secrets, unfair competition, and disputes among partners and shareholders.
We have long-term relationships with most of our business clients, seeing them through startup and, in some instances, through the sale of their business to international companies.
