Legal Resources


There are many legal and regulatory requirements for a new or growing business.

Covered issues include:
  • Business financing
  • Contract drafting and review
  • Debt problems, including credit reports
  • Employment counseling
  • Selecting the right type of business
  • Forming a new business
  • Intellectual property
  • Regulatory compliance
