Business Legal Services
The lawyers at Starr, Gern, Davison & Rubin, P.C., represent a broad range of businesses, from large multinational corporations to closely held family businesses, individuals and families, in transactional matters and in litigation. Because we handle a diversity of business law issues, many clients return to us for representation in other disciplines.
Our Business and Commercial Law Practice
Our business law practice includes:
Partnership Disputes and Shareholder Lawsuits: No matter what form you decide on for your business, an LLC, a partnership, or a corporation, if you're anything other than a sole proprietor, the success of your business depends at least in part on your relationship with a co-owner.
Negotiating and Drafting Contracts: Our contracts are drafted with best practices, efficiently addressing possible contingencies effectively. They are written specifically to your requirements, based on our track record of tried and sound experience.
Comprehensive Business Representation: Businesses fail all of the time. The successful ones share a set of common traits. One of those traits is preventative legal maintenance, proactive contract drafting and smart employment and tort defense policies.
Buying and Selling a Business: Our attorneys can draft and review your purchase agreement and conduct due diligence. These tasks are necessary for you to be able to proceed with confidence.
Outsourced In-House Counsel: It is a significant advantage for your business to have a long-term, working relationship with an attorney. For that reason, we act as in-house legal counsel for small and mid-sized businesses.
Business formation, organization and succession planning: We help clients select the correct business entity for their needs and ensure that the business can thrive under new leadership when that becomes necessary. As a firm with a strong litigation practice, we understand that resolving business disputes requires the expenditure of time and money and can negatively affect the success of an organization. That is why we undertake our clients' business transactions with the goal of preventing disputes and costly litigation.
Shareholder, LLC and partnership litigation: When the leaders of an organization cannot agree on operational matters, our attorneys can help them arrange for an orderly transition.
Restrictive covenant and trade secret litigation: We help employers, employees and former employees when disputes arise over restrictive covenants, trade secrets and non-compete agreements. We also undertake preventive planning for business clients.
Mergers and acquisitions: We help business clients grow their companies by merging with or acquiring another company.
Banking, commercial transactions and foreclosures: We undertake sophisticated transactions and complex litigation for banking institutions.
Securities litigation and arbitration: Our clients include broker/dealers as well as customer/investors. We represent them in matters before FINRA, the NYSE and the SEC
Tax planning and civil and criminal tax litigation: We offer tax planning for individuals and businesses and defend clients in proceedings instituted by the IRS and the New Jersey Division of Taxation.
Construction litigation and arbitration: We represent owners, developers, contractors and others in construction disputes of all types.
Commercial real estate, land use and zoning: Our clients include banks, developers and real estate professionals in transactions and litigation involving purchases and sales, financing, and planning and zoning boards.
Employment and labor law and litigation: Our law firm acts for both employers and employees in a variety of matters.
Arbitration and mediation: Our attorneys act as mediators and arbitrators when appointed by the court or retained privately. In this capacity, we resolve a broad range of disputes involving corporate, financial, employment, construction and professional malpractice matters.
Bankruptcy, reorganization and creditors rights: We represent organizations and individuals in Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings.
Entertainment law: Clients in this area of practice include entertainment businesses and artists in matters such as negotiating and drafting contracts and litigating disputes.
Appellate advocacy: We have a strong record of accomplishment in state and federal appellate courts.
