Bosson Legal Group Specializes in the Following Business Actions:

Business Formation:

When setting up a new company, you should always seek the advice of a knowledgeable attorney. Whether you need to form a Limited Liability Company, Limited Liability Partnership, S Corporation, C Corporation, Non-Profit Corporation or any derivative thereof – or you just need advice on which entity to use - Bosson Legal Group can rely on its extensive experience to advise your business. The Firm will assist you in determining the correct entity to utilize and then file the necessary paperwork to set up the organization in a timely, cost-effective manner.

Contract Creation/Review:

The old adage, spending a little money up front can save you a lot of money on the back-end is never more true than when it comes to having solid business contracts. Any business hiring a key employee, entering a long-term lease agreement, contracting to buy or sell a product or service, or anything else where precise contract language is needed, would be wise to hire an attorney to draft or review such an Agreement. Tim Bosson has over ten years of experience drafting such agreements, and, as an attorney who has regularly litigated such contracts, fundamentally understands what should be and what should not be in such agreements.

Severance Agreements:

Few things are more difficult for a business than to severe the employment of an important member of the team. When doing so it is essential to consider the manner of the termination and to reduce the possibility of future negative repercussions. Generally, the best way to protect the business and send the employee off without too much angst is to reach a mutual severance agreement. Bosson Legal Group has significant experience drafting and reviewing such agreements on both sides of the transaction and can utilize its expertise to provide your business the best options available.

Business Litigation

No matter how much a business tries to minimize its risks, litigation is sometimes unavoidable. Sadly, the cost of litigation has skyrocketed and can be almost cost-prohibitive for small businesses. Bosson Legal Group understands the constraints of small businesses and seeks to provide creative solutions to minimize lengthy court cases, where possible, and when litigating is the only option the Firm works with its clients to craft payment structures – like flat fees, hybrid fee agreements, and delayed payment terms - that are not too onerous.

Agency Investigations

Receiving notice from a government agency that your business is under investigation can be a chilling experience and, in the worst case, threaten the very existence of your business. Tim Bosson has significant experience guiding companies through investigations by the Department of Labor, the Unemployment Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the State Human Rights Commissions, the Internal Revenue Service and many similar government agencies. These investigations move fast and, if at all possible, a business should not respond without first consulting knowledgeable counsel.

Non-Profit Organizations:

While non-profit corporations do not make a profit, the government sadly still expects them to expend significant funds to comply with their rules.  Because of all the red-tape, and the long delays if you fail to meet all the requests the first time, no one should attempt to set up a non- profit without the assistance of Counsel. The staff at Bosson Legal Group has shepherded numerous organizations through the IRS labyrinth with almost universal success. Additionally, to assist the good work of our non-profit clients we offer a 20% discount off of our standard fees.
