Business Transactions
Jack has been handling business transactions for 30+ years. Transaction attorneys specialize in the area of business law. Within that spectrum, they also have an expert status in the drafting, execution, and administration of important business documents such as deeds for real estate, employment contracts, merger documents, financing documents, and even in the transfer of intellectual property and trademarks from one entity to another. In short, any type of transaction or series of transactions that impact the ability of the entity to function within applicable law are understood by a transaction attorney.
Jack works closely with his clients to make sure that all relevant documents precisely convey the intentions of the client and comply with applicable law.
The advantage of retaining a transaction attorney is that a great deal of knowledge and skill come into play that will keep the client from dealing with difficult issues down the road. Most importantly, transaction attorneys strive to keep their clients out of court and away from the government investigation spotlight. A competent transaction attorney will spot irregularities and save the client more money than the attorney's fees could ever equal.
