My greatest professional pleasure has always been helping with contracts that create wealth and opportunity, i.e., agreements that grow businesses, contracts that solidify employment opportunities, real estate development contracts and contracts that sell businesses and enable my clients to realize the fruit of their hard work. Contracts are like good neighbor fences: if erected at the outset, there are no hard feelings, i.e., the outline and expectations of the relationship are fairly well defined. Contracts help avoid larger conflicts and disagreements later on. This past year, I was called upon several times to resolve multiple partnership and shareholder disputes, where there was no partnership or shareholder agreement. And I wished those clients had come to me sooner.. Predictably, the sweet spot is assisting with buying and selling businesses. In the past year I was happy to help a long-time client sell six McDonald’s locations; assist a client with the purchase of a hotel and the attendanct fiancing; and help a new client purchase multiple sites for a new wholesale liquor business (Working with the PA Liquor Control Board was a real treat.) I was buoyed to assist with several corporate formations, and I also helped with the dissolution of a few businesses as well. Technology contracts, one of my “wheelhouses,” were numerous and a joy. And I now represent several more international clients.
