Entity Formation and Structure: Laying a Foundation for Success

The right business structure is the first critical decision for any company. Our attorneys work closely with clients to select and establish corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, and other entities. We advise on the advantages and disadvantages of each option, tailoring recommendations to industry, tax goals, liability protection, and future flexibility.

Clients benefit from our attention to detail in areas such as:

• Choosing the best entity type for asset protection and tax planning
• Drafting operating agreements, bylaws, partnership agreements, and shareholder documents
• Setting up ownership structures that allow for growth, outside investment, or future transition
• Guiding compliance with Oklahoma and federal regulations

As a business grows or pivots, our team helps reassess structure to support expansion, prepare for acquisition, or enable an eventual sale.

Contracts and Governance: Building Resilience Through Clarity

Every successful business relies on solid contracts and clear governance. At Calvert Law Firm, we believe that well-drafted agreements minimize risk and provide certainty. We work with clients to create, review, and negotiate contracts covering everything from major supplier relationships to internal partnership rules.

Our approach ensures that contracts are:

• Clear, enforceable, and tailored to each party’s needs
• Written to anticipate common business scenarios and disputes
• Designed to protect client interests while supporting business relationships

Good governance prevents problems before they arise. We advise boards, directors, and officers on fiduciary duties, strategic decision-making, and conflict resolution. Our counsel helps leaders manage change, maintain accountability, and respond effectively when challenges appear.

Business Disputes: Proactive Prevention and Strategic Advocacy

While prevention is our priority, we understand that disputes sometimes occur even among the best-run businesses. Calvert Law Firm is committed to resolving conflicts with efficiency and professionalism. Our lawyers are skilled negotiators, mediators, and, when necessary, trial advocates.

We help clients address:

• Breach of contract claims and enforcement
• Partnership or shareholder disputes, including buyout negotiations
• Non-compete, confidentiality, and intellectual property issues
• Allegations of fraud, misrepresentation, or unfair business practices

Every dispute is different. We begin with a strategic review, exploring negotiated or mediated solutions before litigation becomes necessary. When trial is the best path, our experience in the courtroom provides clients with confidence and a proven edge.
