Business Law & Litigation

Brenneman, Juarez & Adam LLP provides legal services to business clients in a broad range of areas including, but not limited to the following:

Company formation Contract negotiation Corporate governance and compliance Partnership and shareholder agreements Company dissolution Commercial lease agreements Employment agreements

Whether you are forming a corporation or winding one down, we tailor our services around your commercial goals in an effort to make your business profitable and successful. When starting out, it is vital to choose an appropriate business entity as well as create a management structure that will be suitable and beneficial for the industry and type of commercial operation in which you will be involved. Our attorneys can assist you through reviewing and drafting contracts and can provide other legal advice needed in conducting business, such as determining company policy and procedures, and drawing up work agreements for employees and independent contractors. When business goals or conditions change, if you find a need for a succession plan, company dissolution or decide to sell your business, we can help you make the change by drafting buy-sell arrangements or drawing up other documentation suitable for your needs.

Throughout the existence of a business, we also help clients utilize avoidance and risk management strategies to arrive at safe legal solutions that will protect their reputation and finances.

When commercial disputes arise, we are experts in dispute resolution, representing clients in settlement negotiations or litigation.  We provide our clients with strong advocacy. In recognition of Richard Brenneman's outstanding litigation skills, the Central Coast Trial Lawyers Association honored him as "Trial Lawyer of the Year" in both 1997 and 2004.
