Business Formation

Starting a business involves decisions that can affect ownership, liability, and taxes. Get guidance on choosing a suitable structure, preparing formation documents, and setting clear roles among owners. We help you understand the legal steps involved so you can build a solid foundation and focus on serving customers in Anchorage and across Alaska.

Business Contracts

A well-written contract can help prevent confusion before work begins. Get support drafting or reviewing agreements with customers, vendors, business partners, or independent contractors. We explain key terms in plain language and help you identify gaps, risks, and obligations so you can make informed decisions before signing or asking others to sign.

Business Purchases

Buying or selling a business can involve agreements, assets, liabilities, and important deadlines. Legal guidance can help you review transaction documents, understand proposed terms, and organize the steps needed to move forward. We work through the details with you so you can make informed decisions about the transaction and address questions before closing.

Owner Agreements

When a business has more than one owner, a written agreement can clarify how decisions are made and what happens when circumstances change. We help address contributions, responsibilities, distributions, dispute processes, and ownership transitions. A clear agreement gives owners a shared reference point and can help reduce uncertainty as the business grows or adapts.

Employment Matters

Hiring and managing employees brings legal responsibilities that small business owners need to understand. Get help preparing employment documents, reviewing workplace policies, and addressing questions about personnel matters. We discuss your situation, explain relevant legal considerations, and help you identify practical next steps for your Alaska business.

Business Disputes

A disagreement with a customer, vendor, partner, or another business can distract from daily operations. We help you review the facts and relevant documents, understand your legal options, and consider appropriate ways to resolve the conflict. Clear advice can help you weigh the costs and consequences of possible next steps before deciding how to proceed.
