Business Tort Litigation
A “business tort” refers to an intentional action or breach of duty that interferes with a business’s property, economic interests, or relationships. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of situations from which a business tort claim can arise, but the most common cases involve:
Breach of fiduciary duty
Fraud and misrepresentation
Unfair business practices
Violation of trade secrets.

Asset Litigation
Assets like real property, start-up capital, patents, and licenses help businesses achieve their goals, but they cause contention between parties. Common asset disputes include classification, management, use, or transfer of assets and profits.

Business Entity Formation
Business and corporate law include structuring business entities – establishing corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and other business arrangements. In addition, corporate law focuses on advising clients on corporate governance matters, including issuance of stock and preparing shareholder and limited partnership agreements.
There are many different ways to own a company, including:
Partnership – a legal relationship between two or more persons who carry on business together to make a profit
Corporation – exists as its legal being. The owners of a corporation are its shareholders.
Limited Liability Company – Business owners enjoy the tax advantages of a partnership with the liability protection of a corporation
The chosen structure affects many aspects of the business, including taxation, liability, governance, management and control, transfer of ownership, and more. Attorneys at the Coover Law Firm, LLC advise clients on their options and handle all aspects of business entity formation with the structure that meets their needs and goals.
