Incorporation

Whether you are involved in a new or existing business or non-profit organization, navigating the rules, realizing the benefits, and avoiding the pitfalls of incorporation can be a confusing and time-consuming process. The attorneys at Van Valer will help you understand liability, investiture, protection of assets, and taxation, as well as many of the other issues involved in becoming incorporated.

We help make the legal benefits achieved through contracts, filings, and other interactions with the government easier to digest and comprehend. We know, from experience, that when business owners are better able to understand the ins and outs of incorporation, the detailed and sometimes lengthy process of incorporation goes much smoother.

Structuring

Simply put, the structure of a business is how it’s put together, with emphasis on how systems are connected. Structure is the fundamental property of every system. When you’re dealing with your own business, you know that how you structure your systems can make or break your success. At Van Valer, our qualified staff will help you develop a goal-oriented structure that allows you to focus on what you produce. We’ll focus on making sure you receive all the financial and legal benefits available for your hard work.

Contracts

When businesses disagree over contracts, financing, or even the propriety of certain business conduct, our attorneys can help. We have the experience to get to the heart of the issues and resolve them in favor of our clients. A contract can take several forms; it can even be written on a napkin. Understanding and enforcing the obligations of a contract can be tricky. Van Valer attorneys take the time to help our clients understand legal implications and what is involved in fraud, duress, competency, and terminating a contract, among other important concerns.

Employment Law

At Van Valer Law Firm we help companies decipher the intricate state and federal laws that govern how they must treat prospective, current, and former employees. Our knowledge of constitutional law and the complex regulations that govern employment law enables us to give clients sound advice. We assist clients on issues involving employment discrimination, sexual harassment, and affirmative action and help them understand the implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Federal Employer’s Liability Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

Small Business Issues

Launching and running a small business can be both exciting and difficult. At Van Valer, we strive to provide sound legal advice and help you navigate the myriad of resources that cover specific small business laws and regulations. We make complex legal issues easy to understand so that you can focus on fulfilling the mission of your company.
