When you need an experienced California business law attorney for any transactional or litigation matter, you can rely on me to provide efficient legal services focused on your goals and your bottom line. Contact me at my offices in Irvine to discuss your legal needs in any of the following areas:

• Business formation and operation: There are several important legal steps that must be taken to start a business and keep it operating in compliance with the law. Failure to observe these legal formalities could open you up to personal liability in business disputes. I have efficiently counseled many businesses on their legal operations.
• Contracts and commercial transactions: Contractual relationships are a driving force efficient commerce. Any time you enter into a contract, you are making a commitment that you should only make with full knowledge of the potential consequences. I help clients negotiate and draft contracts to meet their business needs, whether these deal with real estate, purchases, sales or other issues.
