Do You Handle Every Aspect That A Business Would Need? Yes. As attorneys and advisers, we are also counselors. Our goal is to help our business client in whatever they need. We are a full service law firm, and the idea is to give every client general counsel — the same type of service they would receive if they hired a full-time attorney to work inside their office.
Most businesses do not need a full-time in-house lawyer. We take care of the business and do it at reduced costs, so they do not have to carry that full-time employee. We act as a general outside counsel for businesses and handle everything a business needs — from formation to litigation and everything in between.
What Does Full-Service Business Legal Representation Mean?
When we say full-service, we mean it. A business has legal needs at every stage of its life cycle — from the day it is formed to the day it is sold or closed. Our firm handles all of those stages so that you never have to scramble to find a new attorney every time a new legal issue surfaces.
Some of the core areas we handle for businesses include:
- Business formation and entity selection (LLC, corporation, partnership)
- Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
- Employment agreements and non-compete clauses
- Business acquisitions and sales
- Regulatory compliance and licensing
- Dispute resolution and commercial litigation
- Real estate transactions related to business operations
- Intellectual property protection

Who Do We Work With?
We primarily represent small to medium-sized businesses. These are the companies that genuinely benefit from having experienced outside counsel on call — they face real legal complexity every day but cannot justify the cost of a full-time in-house legal department.
We work with businesses across many industries, including retail, construction, professional services, healthcare, technology, and real estate. If your business operates in Utah, we can help. Learn more about the types of clients we represent in our post on What Types Of Businesses Do We Typically Work With?
Handling Business Disputes and Litigation
One of the most stressful situations any business owner faces is a lawsuit. Whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant, litigation can be expensive, time-consuming, and damaging to your reputation if not handled correctly.
We regularly handle business disputes involving breach of contract, non-compete violations, partnership disputes, fraud claims, and more. Understanding the types of disputes your business could face is the first step in preventing them. Read more about What Are Some Common Lawsuits That Clients Tend To Run Into?
The Complete Business Legal Program
For business owners who want proactive legal protection rather than reactive crisis management, we offer a complete business legal program. This includes a thorough evaluation of your company’s current legal standing, identification of gaps or risks, and an ongoing counsel relationship that keeps your business compliant and protected.
This is not a one-time consultation — it is an ongoing partnership. You get access to experienced legal counsel whenever you need it, without the overhead of an employee. Find out exactly what is included in our Complete Business Legal Program and Pre-Business Evaluation.
Why Outside General Counsel Makes Financial Sense
Hiring a full-time attorney costs a business anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 per year in salary alone — before benefits, office space, and overhead. For most small and medium-sized businesses, that is not a realistic budget line.
Outside general counsel gives you the same legal expertise and responsiveness at a fraction of that cost. You pay for what you use. You get a lawyer who knows your business, understands your industry, and is available when you need them — without the fixed overhead of a full-time hire.
According to Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute, general counsel serves as the chief in-house lawyer for an organization — responsible for providing legal advice on all matters affecting the business. We provide that same function as your outside firm.
