Practice Areas and Legal Definitions

Business Law:
Business law is a broad category that encompasses the rules and requirements for all phases of a business’s life, from its creation, through all of the activities during its life, and finally its termination. The creation of a business includes the decision whether to form the business as a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a limited liability company, a corporation or some other type of entity, or whether to set it up as a nonprofit.

The activities during a business’s life include managing the various relationships that a company might have with its employees, customers, vendors, stockholders, bankers, the government and the public. Businesses also, of course, raise capital, keep records, file business and tax forms, hire employees, market and advertise their goods or services, merge with, acquire and/or sell other businesses, as well as a host of related activities.

Business Contracts:
Business contracts are written documents that embody a wide range of business relationships that occur in the life of a typical company. They can include non-compete agreements, non-piracy agreements, non-disclosure agreements, restrictive covenants, employment agreements, producer agreements, sales representative agreements, consulting agreements, management agreements, franchise agreements, licensing agreements, deferred compensation agreements, independent contractor agreements, employee leasing, "rabbi" trusts and others.

Employment Law:
Employment law is the body of laws, administrative rulings and precedents which address the legal rights of, and restrictions on, workers and their organizations. Employment law mediates many aspects of the relationship between labor unions, employers and employees. Employment law also includes establishing and implementing executive employment agreements, employment benefit arrangements and stock option plans.
