The purchase or sale of a business can be an exciting but stressful time for Buyers and Sellers of businesses alike.  Our business attorneys counsel clients throughout the process, drafting the necessary paperwork and facilitating the contractual terms.

Copyright and Trademark Filings

Trademarks protect a company’s goods and services from counterfeiting and protect against other businesses seeking to utilize a similar brand name or logo.  Our attorneys regularly file trademark applications with the United States Trademark and Patent Office.  In addition to filing trademarks, our attorneys register works with the United States Copyright Office to provide enhanced protection for authors and artists from wrongful infringement of their works.

Corporate counsel for small to large sized businesses

During the course of running a business, legal issues are encountered on a regular basis.  It is important that businesses have a law firm where they can turn to ask the questions both big and small that regularly arise.  At MF&C, our attorneys advise clients on day-to-day business issues, ranging from the review of employment contracts to the considerations needed when hiring or terminating an employee.  In addition, our attorneys assist clients in navigating regulatory or municipal matters that may impact a company’s operations.
