The legal services Mr. Bryant performs for new or existing businesses are too numerous to fully describe. In the over thirty (30) year history of his practice, he has assisted business owners with virtually every type of organizational and operational issue. Those services often begin with assisting clients in determining the best form of business entity to create given the intended scope of business operations, ownership, management structure, etc. Once the proper entity is legally in place, Mr. Bryant provides invaluable advice and appropriate documentation to deal with the operational and employment issues and options which every viable business must address. From a single owner business to one with multiple offices and hundreds of employees, Mr. Bryant has helped hundreds of businesses understand and comply with their legal obligations in order to operate more effectively.
Oftentimes, the first contact Mr. Bryant has with a business owner is when the business has been served with a lawsuit or other formal legal claim. It's a much too frequent occurrence that many of those business entities have been inadequately or improperly formed and maintained over time, generally because the owners used a non-lawyer to help create the business, and are simply unaware of the legal requirements for maintaining the business in compliance with all applicable laws. The devastating financial consequences to business owners, personally, for failure to fully comply with the legal requirements imposed on business entities can be easily avoided, and corrected, with Mr. Bryant's help. But when litigation proves necessary, Mr. Bryant has the experience and trial skills to properly and effectively represent the business throughout the litigation process.
If you have any questions about Mr. Bryant's capabilities in the area of business law and representation, you should read the testimonial letters on this website from several of his long-standing business clients. If you still have questions, feel free to call those business owners and executives in order to inquire about Mr. Bryant's exemplary level of legal service to a wide range of businesses and the vast number of positive, and often business-saving,results he continues to obtain for his corporate and business clients.
Relevant Legal Terminology:
Ultra Vires Acts - actions undertaken on behalf of a business entity which are "beyond the powers" of the person acting on behalf of the business. Such actions are subject to being set aside.
Pierce the Corporate Veil - a legal theory under which a party asserts that a corporate entity is a mere "alter ego" of its individual owner(s) by virtue of "the corporate [entity being] a sham, used to defeat justice, to perpetrate fraud or to evade statutory, contractual or tort responsibility." If established by a judge or jury, the legal, financial and other "separateness" protections of a corporate entity are disregarded allowing the plaintiff to obtain a judgment directly against the owners of the corporate business and collect any judgment from the owners' personal assets.
