At Yardley’s OLENLAW, we guide businesses through the process of starting, building, and maintaining a business. We can set up your LLC, Corporation, or other business entity. We also offer guidance on company structure, including ownership and management issues.

We emphasize business (including real estate business) contracts. Whatever your level of sophistication or business needs, we can help.

We analyze, create, and refine the contracts every business needs—contracts with your customers, personnel, vendors, and lenders. We also prepare lease, sale, purchase, and license agreements for equipment, business operations, and ownership. Our contracts are designed to secure assets, limit exposure, and protect your rights and remedies.

At Yardley’s OLENLAW, Attorney Elliot Mark Olen offers the advantage of decades of litigation experience in business and real estate disputes. Through our contract services, we bring that perspective to every matter. See our list of representative cases here.

Protect Your Business Before Disputes Arise

Disputes with outsiders can paralyze or stunt a business and its growth. Make sure you have the right contracts with your customers and vendors. People come and go, but contracts remain. Document your arrangements.

Disputes with personnel can poison the work environment. Protect yourself from difficult personnel, safely attract new employees, and prepare for the unexpected. Make sure everyone understands and follows the rules. Do not rely on text messages, emails, handshakes, or waiting until a future event. Contracts work best when they are in place before problems occur.

Disputes between business owners can ruin a business, damaging its goodwill and reputation while creating uncertainty for employees and third parties. Do you have contracts in place to protect against these situations? At Yardley’s OLENLAW, we help reconcile differing levels of owner contributions that often lead to resentment and governance disputes.

Business Sales & Purchases

The sale or purchase of a business or its major assets is often a life-changing transaction. With more Private Equity Investors in the market, opportunities have increased—but so has deal complexity.

Do you know what to expect? Issues may include:

• Set-offs or claw-backs
• Profit participation based on future performance
• Intellectual property rights
• Key personnel transition agreements
• Performance and payment guarantees
• Rights to recover assets upon default
• Seller and buyer remedies
• Negotiating leverage

Business Downturns

What goes up can also go down. What works today may not work tomorrow. Prepare in advance for the unexpected—ownership disputes, loss of key personnel, vendor concerns, and difficult financial decisions.
