General Business Representation and Business Transactional Services

Albright, Houtsma & Clark, LLC serves business clients with a wide range of legal needs at all stages of the business life cycle. We address the legal issues that businesses and business owners face including business formations; business governance documentation such as shareholder, partnership and LLC agreements; buy-sell planning and agreements; business sales, mergers and acquisitions; asset transfers; intellectual property protection such as copyright and trademark registration; business reorganizations and asset protection planning; employment agreements; restrictive covenants such as confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements; and business tax planning.

Our firm works with all types of business entities including corporations, professional corporations, limited liability companies, non-profit organizations, limited liability partnerships, trusts, and joint ventures. Most AHC business clients are private companies headquartered in the southeastern United States and operating domestically, while a number of clients have business operations and activities abroad. AHC’s business clients operate in a range of industries including real estate, distribution, managed service, technology hardware and software, intelligence and defense, financial securities, construction, and human resource staffing.

As general counsel to business clients, AHC’s goal is to identify short- and long-term business and legal objectives for each client and work within client budgets to address legal needs on a prioritized and cost effective basis. The firm prides itself on flexibility, responsiveness and customer service and offers discounted fee arrangements for ongoing business clients based on the volume and duration of legal service requirements.

AHC also provides services for clients needing isolated business representation such as the negotiation and consummation of the purchase or sale of a business or business interest, the formation of a new business entity, and the negotiation and drafting of buy-sell agreements or other business contracts.
