Business Law
Business law encompasses the legal aspects of establishing new businesses as well as resolving issues that arise when existing businesses engage with the public, other companies, and government entities. The field of business law draws on multiple legal disciplines, such as tax law, intellectual property, real estate, sales, and employment law, among others. Business law attorneys primarily engage in transactional work, and typically do not represent clients in court. However, while the primary objective is to prevent future litigation, these attorneys are also equipped to represent their clients in court if required.

Civil Litigation
Civil litigation refers to a legal conflict between two or more parties, where one party seeks compensation for damages caused by the other party’s actions. The compensation sought can be in the form of monetary damages, cessation of harmful activities, or repairs to a faulty product or structure. Civil lawsuits encompass diverse areas such as personal injury, medical malpractice, employment law, and contractor claims.
- Mediation
- Contract Disputes
- Appellate Advocacy
Commercial Law
Commercial Law revolves around the buying, selling, and distribution of goods and the financing of specific transactions. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provides a standardised set of laws governing these transactions, including the sales of goods, leases of negotiable instruments, and secured transactions. Although every state adopts some version of the UCC, each state has the authority to modify the provisions according to its own requirements. It is advisable to engage a lawyer well-versed in the UCC regulations specific to your state, due to the diverse implementation of the UCC provisions across states.

Estate Planning
Whether you realize it or not, you possess an estate. In fact, nearly everyone does. Your estate encompasses everything you possess, such as your car, residence, land, checking and savings accounts, investments, life insurance policies, furniture, antiques, and personal effects. Despite its size or value, everyone possesses an estate, but it cannot be taken with you after you pass away.
To ensure that your desires are fulfilled, it is essential to establish clear instructions detailing who should receive your assets, what those assets are, and when they should be given. Naturally, you’ll want to minimize the amount of taxes, legal expenses, and court fees incurred in the process.

Real Estate Law
Real property law, commonly known as real estate law, is a legal field that pertains to the buying, using, and selling of land. This area of law regulates the acquisition of property and the rights of property owners with regard to their land.
Real property law, also known as real estate law, deals with legal issues related to land and any structures permanently attached to it. Real property includes land and buildings, as opposed to personal property which includes movable objects like cars or furniture. In real estate law, fixtures that are attached to the land, such as buildings or other structures, are also considered part of the real property. Real estate law covers a wide range of topics such as deeds, titles, financing, zoning, taxes, and estate planning.
