A recipient of the 2011 Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce Pinnacle Small Entrepreneurial Business award, the Firm’s principal practice areas include: acquisitions and mergers, buy-sell agreements, computer software contracts, consulting agreements, corporate succession planning, employment contracts, employee manuals, employment matters, estate planning, wills and trusts, executive compensation arrangements, financing, franchising, incorporations, independent contractor agreements, internet agreements, joint venture agreements, partnership agreements, license agreements, lease agreements, royalty agreements and web development agreements for U.S. and international small and middle market, closely-held and family-owned businesses as well as individuals.

Most of our clients have long-term relationships with our firm. Whether they initially came for help setting up a business, reviewing a contract, implementing operating agreements or creating employment agreements, they often return for help with a wide range of other issues affecting their businesses, including corporate restructuring, shareholder issues, shareholder buy-outs/redemptions, bylaw adjustments, equipment and space leasing transactions, employment matters, structure and negotiate mergers and acquisitions, and a myriad of other general corporate and tax law matters.  We also help clients develop internal procedures and contracts to help avoid potential legal problems, protect clients against non-payments, grow their business, preserve and enhance their business relationships, obtain small business loans and evaluate other creative funding solutions.  Our clients also have access to our network of professionals who help our clients address other “non-legal” issues affecting their business.

In addition to helping clients grow and expand their businesses, we offer succession planning support, either to a family member, friend or an unrelated third party to help in the transition of the business between family members and/or third parties.  We help guide clients through the sale and acquisition of business assets. We are also experienced in franchise law from both the franchisor’s and the franchisee’s perspectives.

We have been told by our clients that they like working with us because they appreciate the depth of our experience and they know we are committed to working on their team to help develop practical, cost-efficient legal advice and solutions customized to their unique situations.

Attorney Ralph J.
