Business Law
Every small business should have a trusted business advisor and legal counsel. However, the burden of retaining a full-time in-house attorney is often too much for small- and medium-sized businesses. For this reason, in addition to offering hourly rates, Brian offers fixed retainer contracts so his clients can better anticipate their legal spend and not be afraid to seek legal counsel on day-to-day matters while minimizing the impact on their bottom line. Brian believes that the cost of legal counsel should not be an impediment to securing sound legal advice. Through these retainer relationships, Brian is “on call” to use his considerable experience as a former in-house General Counsel and Senior Legal Counsel to provide clients with proactive legal risk management to avoid problems before they arise.
Brian represents a variety of businesses in their general and day-to-day business affairs. He offers businesses comprehensive legal and transactional advice with an emphasis on being responsive, practical, and cost-effective. For small- to medium-sized businesses especially, Brian assists clients with all business law matters that warrant the advice of counsel, including their business contracts, lending transactions, purchase and sale transactions, employment matters, compliance issues, and dispute resolution.
