Small Business Law
Small Business Lawyers in St. Charles County
Small businesses face many of the same legal issues as large businesses, such as contract disputes, employee issues, insurance claims, collections, asset sales and debt issues. However, most small businesses lack in-house counsel to help them deal with these issues on a day-to-day basis.
At the law firm of Ellinger & Associates in O'Fallon, Missouri, our attorneys represent small businesses, startups and entrepreneurs. We often serve as general counsel for firms that are too small or too new to have lawyers on staff. Among the services we provide include:
- Formation of limited liability companies (LLC), S-corporations, C-corporations, partnerships and other business organizations to maximize tax benefits and liability protection
- Drafting buy-sell agreements, partnership agreements and shareholder agreements
- Drafting and reviewing contracts
- Drafting employment contracts and employee policy manuals
- Advising employers on employee issues such as terminations, sexual harassment and discrimination claims
- Drafting and reviewing lease agreements
- Landlord-tenant issues
- Collections
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Business bankruptcy
- Creditors rights issues in bankruptcy
- Representation of the business entity and directors in disputes and legal claims
- Business litigation
