The negotiation, structuring, and formation of new business ventures, the buying and selling of existing business, business reorganizations, stock and asset transactions, capital formation and other forms of debt or equity financing, and the preparation of shareholder, member, partnership, and employment agreements are BKBH’s day-in and day-out trade.  BKBH's business contract attorneys negotiate and draft a wide variety of complex contracts and other instruments when a business needs to merge, sell, lease, purchase, borrow, or lend assets.

Businesses needing assistance restructuring in order to facilitate new product or service development and distribution rely on our firm's business contract attorneys and their vast experience supporting start-up ventures for both new business entities and established entities embarking on new enterprises. Joint venture and partnership agreements can be effectively negotiated for such projects.  We are able to assist with other legal issues such projects may typically confront, including negotiating licensing arrangements, protecting intellectual property, managing distribution channels, and drafting service and supplier contracts.

As a full-service law firm, BKBH has specialized resources within our firm that may be marshaled when particular situations arise. When a transaction involves the purchase, sale, or financing of real property, our business contract attorneys with experience in property transactions, as well as appropriate technical staff, become closely involved with the project to ensure our client's interests are protected. Environmental compliance in real property matters is now a threshold concern, and federal and state air, water, and solid waste requirements often necessitate the involvement of attorneys knowledgeable in these substantive areas of law; our firm offers extensive experience in environmental compliance, remediation, and litigation.
