Our Business Law Services

1. General Business Counsel

We serve as ongoing legal counsel for businesses, providing advice on:

  • Entity formation (LLCs, corporations, partnerships) and governance.
  • Draft and review leases and purchase agreements for commercial and industrial properties.
  • Contract drafting, negotiation, and enforcement.
  • Compliance with state and federal regulations.
  • Intellectual property protection and licensing.

    2. Employment Law Compliance and Agreements

    Navigating employment laws can be challenging. We help employers:

    • Draft and review employment contracts, handbooks, and policies.
    • Ensure compliance with federal and Oregon employment laws.
    • Manage employee terminations, severance agreements, and restrictive covenants
      (e.g., noncompete and nondisclosure agreements).

    3. Mergers and Acquisitions

    We guide businesses through mergers, acquisitions, and sales, including:

    • Conducting due diligence to identify risks and opportunities.
    • Structuring transactions to align with your financial and operational goals.
    • Negotiating purchase agreements and financing arrangements.
    • Handling regulatory filings and compliance.

    4. Succession Planning

    Planning for the future is vital for any business. We help develop customized succession plans that protect your business and its stakeholders, such as:

    • Cross-Purchase Agreements: In light of the Connelly decision by the US Supreme Court, these facilitate smooth ownership transitions between partners without incurring additional taxes.
    • Buy-Sell Agreements: Ensure the continuity of your business in the event of retirement, death, or disability.
    • Family Business Planning: Balance personal and professional considerations for family-owned enterprises.
    From forming our LLC, to drafting employment contracts, to creating our buy-sell agreement for succession planning, Bridgeport Law Group has been an invaluable partner for our business. Their attention to detail and their responsiveness is unmatched.
