Morgantown Business Law Attorney

Business Formation

If you are starting a new business – recently started a business – or looking to expand….

You know there is so much to do and so little time to do it. Do not make the process more difficult and certainly do not expose yourself to liability!

As your attorney, I take an outcome-based approach and will service all your business needs. This begins during the initial consultation, where we will determine your: (1) current status, (2) desired outcomes, (3) additional concerns and (4) timeline.

After this, I go to work. I understand that this is an important aspect of your business —but not the only aspect of your business. Therefore, I am willing to meet outside working operating hours and can be reached 24 hours a day.

Tech Start-ups & Compliance

The phrases: Business technology, online businesses, Technology as a Service (TaaS), Financial Technology (fintech), and many others – are used to associate what you offer – with what people know and understand.

However, your legal guidance should not be standardized or simplified. Many businesses in the technology industry face unique legal challenges because they have: (1) unconventional business models; (2) unclear standards under preexisting law; and (3) evolving company roles and needs.

As your attorney, I want to protect your emerging technology – not simplify it. I offer standard services, such as the creation of business entities, non-disclosures, and covenants not to compete. Additionally, I have the background knowledge and resources to help develop policies and procedures that are effective and in compliance with U.S. law.

Services Include:

Formation- Drafting and filing creation of new business entity, operating agreements, shareholder buy-sell agreements, internal documentation establishing procedures and protection for intellectual property; data acquisition and retention; and terms of use agreements.

Operation- Third-party Agreements, including agreements for: employees; independent contractors, and consultants. State and Federal law compliance assessments, and policy recommendations.

Protection- Covenants not to compete, non-solicitation agreements, cease. and desist letters, business disputes, and litigation.
