What kinds of services I can offer you and your Memphis small business?

General Counsel- Most Memphis small businesses can use a "general counsel" to perform basic risk management, perform an initial evaluation of any legal issues you may face, and to either handle or find well-qualified and cost effective legal counsel for those issues. This generates a substantial savings in legal costs since the continuing relationship gives a lawyer an incentive to become familiar with a business and its needs and personality. This saves the need for an extensive preliminary workup before starting work.

Risk management - The fancy term for looking over documents and procedures to ensure that they have the minimum reasonable chance of generating a future lawsuit.

Legal Documentation and Structures-As a lawyer for a Memphis small business I can draft most types of employment, lease, or partnership agreements.

Employment- A small business should have an employee policy guide. Hopefully, you won’t feel the need to terminate employees, but if you do then as outside legal counsel I can "advise" you that employee termination is essential and actually terminate the employee. This should avoid to the greatest extent possible any ill feeling and make me the target of any ill feeling or any negative word of mouth.

Civil Litigation- Civil litigation is perhaps the most typical legal service and what law school primarily trains lawyers to do. I can conduct a trial myself or ensure that a legal issue is handled in the most cost effective manner.

Asset protection- A very tricky legal subject. Foreign Asset Protection Trusts have proven ineffective as courts have ordered jail time as to trustees who didn’t divulge assets. (That would be you). The only surefire way to for them to work is to be willing to flee the country, which would be very disruptive for most small businesses and something I always advise against. Domestic Asset protection trusts have many of the same problems as to actual effectiveness and are untested in court. They may still be a valuable tool however.
