We also handle many areas vital to North Caldwell’s businesses.  For instance, we defend employment suits, and litigate disputes between businesses and their competitors for wrongful business practices.  We represent businesses in disputes about services and payments with their vendors and customers.  We also represent companies which are having tax issues, such as sales and payroll tax audits.  We handle transactions such as the purchase or sale of businesses or their assets.  We also negotiate contracts for businesses and represent them in court if those contracts are breached.
