Business Law Services at Johnsen Law
Johnsen Law assists businesses at every stage, from initial formation and everyday operations to complex transactions, disputes, and succession planning.
Business Formation and Corporate Structuring
Starting a business requires more than choosing a name and registering with the state. The structure of a business can affect ownership rights, management responsibilities, taxation, and liability.

Business Contracts and Transactions
Clear, enforceable agreements are essential to successful business relationships.
The firm provides contract drafting, review, and negotiation services for commercial transactions, vendor and service agreements, independent contractor arrangements, confidentiality agreements, and other business-related contracts.
Johnsen Law also assists with mergers and acquisitions, business purchases and sales, corporate restructuring, and transactional due diligence.
Business Litigation and Commercial Disputes
Disagreements between business partners, shareholders, customers, vendors, and competitors can disrupt operations and create significant financial exposure.

Johnsen Law assists businesses with employment contracts, employee handbooks, non-compete and confidentiality agreements, independent contractor arrangements, and compliance-related concerns.
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial property transactions can involve substantial investments and complex contractual obligations.
Johnsen Law provides legal assistance with commercial real estate purchases, sales, leases, development matters, and related agreements, helping clients understand and manage the legal risks associated with their transactions.

Planning for the future of a business is essential to protecting its value and ensuring continuity.
