Whether you’re starting your very first company, running a thriving family business, or expanding into new markets, having the right legal team in your corner makes all the difference. That’s why our business law attorneys serve as true partners—advising you with integrity, insight, and a commitment to your long-term success.

Why Every Business Needs a Lawyer—Not Just in a Crisis

Some business owners call a lawyer only when something goes wrong. But the most successful companies know that proactive legal counsel prevents costly problems, strengthens your position in negotiations, and allows you to focus on what you do best—running your business. Our attorneys help Oklahoma businesses anticipate and avoid pitfalls, ensuring every contract is clear, every deal is secure, and every decision is informed.

Comprehensive Business Law Services for Oklahoma Companies

We provide guidance and representation in all aspects of business law, including:

• Entity Formation and Choice of Structure: LLCs, corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, and nonprofits. We help you select and create the right business entity for your goals, tax needs, and liability protection.
• Contract Drafting, Review, and Negotiation: We handle everything from supplier agreements and customer contracts to NDAs, non-competes, service agreements, and more. We write contracts in plain English, not legalese—so you always know your rights and risks.
• Corporate Governance and Compliance: Our lawyers ensure you stay in good standing with state and federal regulations, maintain proper records, and follow your bylaws and operating agreements.
• Business Transactions: Buying, selling, or merging with another company? We conduct due diligence, draft purchase agreements, and close deals smoothly and efficiently.
• Risk Management: We help identify vulnerabilities, create policies, and implement compliance programs to minimize future legal exposure.
• Day-to-Day Counsel: Quick answers to everyday questions, whether it’s reviewing a lease or handling a customer dispute.
• Dispute Resolution: When conflicts arise, we pursue negotiation, mediation, or arbitration—and are ready for litigation when needed.

Case Study Example: How Proactive Counsel Saved a Client Thousands

A local Oklahoma retail client came to us with a contract they’d been using for years—unaware it left them exposed to expensive disputes with suppliers. We reviewed and revised their standard agreement, adding key protective clauses. Months later, when a supplier failed to deliver, our client was able to recover damages quickly—without the need for costly litigation—because their contract was airtight. A little prevention saved months of hassle and thousands of dollars.
