Business Planning and Transactions

Governo Law Firm LLC has represented corporate clients since it was founded, and has assisted a variety of corporations and small businesses in integrating legal planning into their business strategy. The attorneys at GLF are able to provide a roadmap by which an owner of a business can understand key aspects of the legal system, including corporate formation, contracts, insurance coverage, regulatory compliance and liability. Armed with this knowledge, clients can make decisions that reduce their liability, increase their competitive advantage, and most importantly, maximize their profits.

We feature a “liability audit” for our business clients. We review a company’s entire operation (or just its key business lines) to identify practices or policies that present a significant risk of liability. We then assess the steps that could be taken to reduce this risk and estimate the related costs and benefits. Often we can add significant value to a company’s risk management with minimal cost. The results of our Liability Audits are protected by the attorney-client privilege and confidential.
