How much does a corporate lawyer cost?

Corporate lawyer fees vary based on the service—formation work may be offered at flat or fixed rates, while litigation and transactional matters often use hourly or retainer billing.

When is litigation necessary for a business?

Litigation becomes necessary when informal negotiations fail to resolve serious disputes—such as breach of contract, partner misconduct, or unpaid debts—and formal legal action is needed to protect rights and recover value. If you’re facing a dispute that needs resolution, contact us for strategic legal representation.

What's the difference between a corporation and a partnership?

Though corporations and partnerships are business structures with several similarities, they have some distinct differences when it comes to ownership and liability. A corporation is owned by shareholders who have limited liability, whereas a partnership is a business owned by two or more individuals who share its profits and liabilities.
