Business and Corporate Areas of Law

WAW attorneys provide general legal counsel to its corporate and commercial clients as well as offering special legal assistance in one or more areas. Our business practice is shaped by our versatility. WAW regularly represents buyers and sellers in mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate transactions. We provide guidance on the choice of a business entity (including an analysis of "S" corporations, "C" corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies), assist in the analysis of buyouts or redemptions of other business owners and provide tax planning advice associated with the start-up, purchase or sale of ongoing businesses. Typically, this includes the implementation of buy-sell agreements, operating agreements, employment agreements, consulting agreements, asset sale agreements and split-dollar arrangements.
