Chicagoland Business Law Services that Meet Your Company's Needs

At the Law Offices of Alan H. Klein, I provide realistic, honest, practical, and cost effective legal advice and transactional and litigation services that resolve your pressing legal issues. I provide comprehensive business law services to small and medium-sized business clients in Chicagoland. Contact my Chicagoland area business law office to discuss your business needs.

Corporate Formation Business Lawyer

Chicagoland is full of entrepreneurs and business owners ready to start their new business ventures on the right foot. It all begins with the proper formation of your new business. Are you unsure whether a sole proprietorship or corporation is best? I can advise you on the risks and benefits of each type of business entity and help you determine the best choice for your company. I help my clients understand the following business entities:

• Sole Proprietorship
• Partnership
• Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) 
• Corporation
• S-corporation
• Limited Liability Corporation (LLC)

General Legal Advice For Your Business

Before you open your door for business, carefully consider your contract needs. Do you need a standard contract for your clients or suppliers? An employee handbook for your new employees to establish company guidelines and policies? Drafting proper legal documents and contracts at the beginning of your business can help prevent future problems and expenses. Few companies with less than $10 million in sales can afford in-house counsel to answer legal questions that arise in the course of day-to-day business. I provide this service for many businesses in the Chicagoland areas of Uptown, Edgewater, Lincoln Square, Lakeview, Andersonville, Lincoln Park, Evanston, Skokie, Lincolnwood, Wilmette, Northbrook, and Glenview. Prompt response is the key to good legal service.

Transactional Services

It’s common for ongoing business transactions to regularly require a business attorney. I can assist with any business law matter, including:

• Purchases and sales agreements
• Real estate purchase and sales
• Lease agreements
• Collections

Dispute Resolution and Litigation Services

As a business lawyer in Chicagoland with 25 years of legal experience, I’ve helped hundreds of clients resolve legal disputes. I am prepared to take your case to court if it is in your best interest. However, I am also trained in mediation, and I provide mediation and arbitration services. I will work hard to resolve your dispute out of court in a cost effective manner.You can count on me to provide you with an honest assessment of your case and a clear explanation of the options available to you. My clients are concerned about the bottom line and so am I. I won’t counsel you to initiate an expensive court case if there are less expensive and more effective methods for reaching an appropriate agreement. If litigation is needed, I won't hestitate to take your case to court and advocate for your best interests. I’ve taken many cases to court and I can provide you with effective legal representation in any type of business dispute.
