We represent parties in the purchase and sale of businesses, some or all of a business’s assets, and franchises.

The most common source of friction and disagreement in the business world is the lack of a contract, or a poorly drafted one. Our New Jersey business attorneys are experienced in helping businesses structure agreements that meet their goals, minimize expense and needless conflicts, and thus allow organizations to spend their time working on their core businesses rather than dealing with disputes or litigation.  Likewise, a well-crafted agreement among the owners is the best way to ensure a well-functioning operation, or a smooth parting of the ways.  Our New Jersey business attorneys have significant experience in negotiating and drafting partnership, shareholder and operating agreements.

Unfortunately, disagreements happen, both with third parties and among the owners themselves.  Our New Jersey business attorneys are expert at negotiating resolutions.  Indeed, Maurice McLaughlin is appointed as a mediator by the New Jersey Superior Court to resolve business disputes.  However, disputes cannot be resolved, and thus our attorneys are experienced in handling all aspects of business litigation.
