Business Disputes Litigation

When starting a business, entrepreneurs must consider countless issues: how should the business be structured? Where should it be located? Who should be hired? How will profits be shared? What if the venture fails? Rarely is the prospect of business failure considered.  Similarly, mot do not consider or address the possibility of a litigious conflict with colleagues, investors, partners, competitors of clients.  Closing the deal often takes precedence over managing litigation risk. Having an experienced business dispute attorney on your side in the face of conflict may, however, significantly reduce your company’s exposure. Whether you are just starting your business or are a decades-old member of the corporate market, the Law Office of Cheryl Gabes Rice, LLC can provide experienced and knowledgeable legal counsel to assist you with the gamut of business conflicts that can, and often do, arise on a regular basis.
