Deming Law is a trusted legal partner to owner-operated businesses, from initial formation through every subsequent stage of growth. Our focus is protecting small and medium sized businesses from lawsuits, creditors, and risk. Below, you will learn about the different ways we help protect your business, from corporate structuring that shields your assets, to the day to day legal support your business needs to operate and grow, to representing you should a dispute or lawsuit ever arise.
The biggest concern business owners have is how long a legal matter will take, and how much it will cost, to accomplish their objective. We work with business owners every day, and we know what matters most to you is knowing what to expect, in cost and in the work you receive. That is why our services are based on a flat fee structure, providing you with upfront, transparent pricing for the work we deliver.
Our objective is the same as yours, to protect your business and see it succeed. Therefore, you can reach out freely without worrying about additional costs. Because we do not bill by the hour, you never have to worry about how long it takes, or a growing legal expense.
Whether your business owns the real estate it operates from, fleet vehicles, inventory, raw materials, or equipment, those assets represent real value that deserves protection from the risks of daily operations.
Corporate Structuring
One of the ways we help business owners is by protecting their valuable assets. We do this by separating what you own from what you do. This is achieved by corporate structuring, which refers to how your business is legally organized, the type of entity or entities you use, and how your assets and operations are separated within them. By separating your risk facing day to day operations from your valuable assets, we keep them protected from lawsuits, creditors, and risk.
Corporate Debt and Financing
Debt and capital touch nearly every business at some point. Corporate structuring is not a one time decision made at formation and set aside. It is a critical consideration that continues to shape what is possible for your business, at any stage. How your company is structured directly affects its access to capital, and the terms on which that capital is available. We help you navigate this, so your business is positioned and structured to access the capital it needs.
Outside General Counsel
To support your business through its day to day operations, we offer outside general counsel services, so you only have to pay for the services and support you need. This means you do not have the cost of a full-time attorney, or face the unpredictable fees and the uncertain time it takes, that often come with hourly billing at other firms.
Commercial and Defense Litigation
We Build the Vaults, and We Defend the Vaults. At Deming Law we provide experienced strategic legal counsel and representation in commercial litigation cases. Our mission is two-fold, proactively shielding business owners from liability, and decisively enforcing their corporate rights. Whether we are prosecuting a claim to recover damages, or deploying a robust defense to protect your business and personal assets, we bring the same technical insight to litigation that we bring to building your corporate structure in the first place.
