Business Law

Even apparently simple business or commercial litigation can be highly complex. Such matters require the extensive knowledge and experience of a capable and competent attorney.

Starting and running a business involves far more than hanging up a shingle and announcing your grand opening. Every business from small to large needs expert assistance to put strong legal protections in place to shield it from harm right from the very beginning. These protections form the foundation of your business and are critical to its success. An attorney skilled at business law can help provide the structural guidance you need to protect and grow your business while meeting your goals.

The basics of Arizona business law

Title 10 and Title 29 of the Arizona Revised Statutes cover all aspects of business law. With 40 separate chapters, each divided into subsections that outline a particular point of law, Title 10 guides and governs all aspects of businesses in Arizona, regardless of size or specialty. Title 29 governs the provisions related to partnerships and LLCs.

It can be challenging for a business to understand these complex statutes, but a business’s success depends on proper understanding and implementation of these legal guidelines.

Why it’s important to work with Arizona business lawyers

While it is possible to start your business and create contracts without the help of an attorney, these processes can be more complex than you think. Working with an attorney who has experience in Arizona business law ensures that everything you put in place, from contracts to articles of incorporation or organization to operating agreements and bylaws, is legally sound.

Proper representation becomes even more crucial for complex businesses with a multitude of diverse assets to protect, services to deliver, or market areas, or those likely to be the target of contentious disputes that progress to litigation. Developing a relationship with an expert in business law protects you and your company.
