At HoganWillig, I represented small and medium sized businesses from their inception to their dissolution or sale. I advised businesses as they were started, whether it was through the formation of corporations, LLCs, and not for profits (including NY incorporation and 501(c)(3) applications) or business stock and asset purchases.I also helped businesses grow, through business planning and succession (with a focus on Buy-Sell Agreements and real estate assets), contract drafting, negotiation and review, commercial real estate purchases and sales, the review of commercial leases, and applications for a variety of business certifications and licenses (in particular with the NYS Liquor Authority).My goal was to resolve business disputes outside of the courts, whether they were commercial disputes or shareholder, member or partner disputes, and to resort to commercial/civil litigation only when necessary. I also addressed a range of business issues from not for profit governance and compliance to assisting distressed businesses.Finally, I handled the firm's foreclosures, both on the lender and the borrower side, and guided borrowers through different forms of loss mitigation, including loan modifications, short sales and deeds in lieu.
