Business Transactions

Overview

Today’s business environment is challenging and businesses need every advantage they can get. Retaining a business transaction attorney is a critical piece of your business operations for two reasons: First, protecting your business is equally as important as selling your product or service; and second, the risk associated with conducting your business needs to be managed and minimized so you can focus your time and energy on making your business a success.

Our Approach and Our Goal

At The Digesti Law Firm, our philosophy is simple. We focus on getting to know your business inside and out and then we ensure that every dollar spent on legal fees adds value to your business. This approach leads to our ultimate goal - protecting your business. Anyone can start a business. However, doing so without sound legal advice leaves open many cracks for potential legal exposure. That is why we believe appropriate legal counseling is crucial to any business’ long term success.

Our Services and Experience

When analyzing the importance of legal advice in the business arena, the ultimate goal is to reduce risk of legal exposure. Different businesses have different areas of risk that may be minimized through sound legal advice. For example, a growing advertising agency may need to focus on employee policies while a start-up Internet company may need to focus on what business entity best promotes their long-term goals.

Whether you are an entrepreneur with a concept, or an established brick and mortar company, we provide counseling on risk management business strategies and procedures so that costly litigation can be avoided unless it becomes necessary. Some examples include:

• Advising start-ups on which entity formation promotes their personal and business’ long term goals.
• Successfully advised two multi-million dollar new media/Internet companies on entity formation and ongoing operations.
• Counseled business client through a sale of existing shares via venture capital financing.
• Counseled businesses on debt recovery strategies outside of the litigation context.

Our Unique Pricing Structure

As small business owners ourselves, we understand the importance of knowing costs before we commit to a transaction. For almost all undertakings, we will work with you to determine your budget for a particular project and provide you with a flat fee quote. The flat fee quote is what the project will cost – no more and no less. When it comes to your business budget, we do not believe in rough estimates that can change over time. So when a project can be assigned a flat fee cost, we promise that is what it will cost.
