Business Representation
MGM represents businesses of all sizes, ranging from entrepreneurs, closely-held companies, retailers and commercial realtors to banks, developers and larger companies. Our business lawyers provide practical advice to all types of businesses, ranging from new start-ups to established organizations. We strive to help you avoid legal problems so you can focus on building a successful business. MGM offers general corporate counseling, entity formation and corporate structuring, collections, real estate, employment law, business and SBA loans, creative and specialized finance, sale and acquisition of assets and franchises, and the preparation of all needed documents like internal policy statements and manuals or transactional forms.
Commercial litigation can be daunting for a small or mid-sized business -- often costing thousands for basic matters, tens of thousands for more complex cases. MGM’s litigators work hand in hand with our clients to develop practical, cost-conscious resolutions to help keep them focused on their business. Often we work through referrals from lawyers outside our firm to represent clients with “unusual” litigation cases. Our tailored approach extends to general business, employment, and real estate litigation, mediation and arbitration, as well as representation before administrative forums like the Department of Labor or the Board of Contract Appeals.
Creditors’ rights and collections are critical to nearly every business. We help clients recover unpaid debt through smart, reasonable solutions, using negotiation, mediation, and arbitration as well as the more traditional court litigation. MGM’s lawyers can also help identify ways to protect a business from slow paying customers, by training your staff to recognize the warning signs of a problem customer before things go too far.
Commercial real estate clients appreciate our “get down to business” approach, making sure their transactions are free of delays and unexpected challenges. We cover all aspects of commercial real estate law, representing individuals, small businesses, corporations, builders and developers. We are actively engaged in the full spectrum of commercial real estate finance, representing lenders, borrowers and sellers. We have extensive experience in residential development and SBA loans.
MGM regularly handles all manner of construction disputes. We provide legal advice on day-to-day operations, policies and procedures to help prevent non-payments and avoid conflicts, to help you preserve working relationships and contain costs. When necessary, our lawyers work with construction companies, contractors, subcontractors, developers, architects and engineers, with strategies that extend beyond litigation to include arbitration, mediation and government administrative hearings.
