Business and Commercial Law

Tom Drake advises and assists clients in a number of different industries with their business and regulatory needs.  Whether you are starting a new business, setting up a limited liability company, addressing legal issues as your business grows, buying a business, or making invoice collections, the negotiations, legal structures and agreements that you make with partners, customers and suppliers need to be reviewed by an experienced counsel.

Some of the areas where he can provide legal advice include:
  • Deciding on the correct corporate entity for your new business
  • Drafting and filing Articles of Incorporations
  • Preparing contracts and agreements
  • Business and contract disputes
  • Will contests and other estate and probate litigation
  • Collection of unpaid debts
  • Collection of invoices (Accounts Receivables)
  • Commercial collections and creditor’s rights
  • Commercial leases for property and equipment

Timely and accurate legal counsel can help you avoid difficulties that might arise from poor business structure planning.  The topics involved in business law are wide-ranging, but in general they refer to all the law which applies to the rights, relations and conduct of persons and businesses engaged in commerce, merchandising, trade, and sales.

Establishing an ongoing working relationship with an experienced business attorney can provide you with protection and advice that will help your business prosper and grow safely.
