Business & Commercial Law

The form of entity chosen for a business greatly impacts the daily operations of the business and the income tax consequences to both the business and its owners. Attorney Scott Pfeiffer advises his business clients on the appropriate entity selection based upon their business, taxation, jurisdictional, and operational preferences—partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations or joint ventures. He also prepares and files all required documents.

Once the business is formed and operating, Mr. Pfeiffer also provides general counsel and support services. Such services include contract and lease negotiation and drafting, contract review, trademarks, copyrights, corporate succession planning, reorganization, mergers and acquisitions, international investments and transactions, directors’ and officers’ liability, shareholders’ rights, and dissolution. He advises clients in an effort to avoid litigation, but they also handle any business-related litigation matter that may arise. Scott Pfeiffer is a state certified arbitrator and mediator and often uses alternative dispute resolution as a means to resolve business disputes.
