Small Business Law

From your very first idea, to forming the business, drafting and signing the contract, hiring employees and opening your doors, Nelson, Robinson & El Ashmawy, PLLC offers start-ups and established small businesses legal services that will give you the necessary tools for your long term success and profitability.

  • Business Formation – The first step for entrepreneurs to establish and grow their business is to choose the best type of business entity for your goals, management style, and level of risk.  Our firm can advise you on the differences between the various business entities and draft the required legal documents to establish your business as a limited liability partnership (LLP), limited liability company (LLC), partnership, S-corporation (S-Corp), C-corporation (C-Corp), or other business entity.
  • Contracts – The firm drafts all types of business contracts that are customized to the needs of your small business.  In addition to drafting the organizational documents of various business entities, our firm drafts licensing, shareholder and partnership agreements, employment and  non-compete, and lease and sale agreements including documentation related to buying or selling a business, just to name a few of the numerous contracts a small business needs everyday.  Our firm also provides due diligence contract review and can renegotiate your existing contracts to reduce operating expenses.
  • Intellectual Property – Our firm can help you protect your intellectual property such as copyrights, trademarks and service marks.   Ensure your Federal and State rights are protected with proper applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).  And once your rights are secure, let us help you license your intellectual property rights to other businesses and effectively leverage your rights to grow your business.
