Having the right attorney can make the difference when it comes to starting a new business, acquiring an existing one, or running your business.  We provide business and commercial law advise and counsel, including representation regarding business formation, business litigation, employee agreements, business contracts, joint-venture agreements, non-compete agreements, and 1023 non-profit exemptions.

When dealing with issues that arise in connection with the operation and ownership of a business you may need our services. The attorneys have extensive experience in business, commercial, and corporate matters, ranging from formation and incorporation for new business start-ups as corporations or limited liability companies to creating and implementing owner agreements, and contracts with third parties and filing annual reports with the State of RI.
