Business Formation and Business Transactions

If you are starting a business, we assist in setting the proper stage for your success. We engage clients in discussions of personal liability, taxation and roles of owners. This allows us to advise you on the proper organizational entity and carefully draft the incorporating documents:

  • Corporation (S corp or C corp) and shareholder agreement
  • Limited liability partnership (LLP) and partnership agreement
  • Limited liability company (LLC) and operating agreement
  • Partnerships
  • Sole proprietorship

Mary Notaris also provides ongoing business law counsel for transactions (buy-sell agreements, real estate acquisition) and drafting or review of contracts (business deals, commercial leases) and employment agreements (non-compete and confidentiality agreements, executive compensation and severance).

Commercial Litigation

We represent small businesses, construction companies and subcontractors, realty corporations and other entities as plaintiffs or defendants in all business torts and contract disputes:

  • Breach of contract or warranty
  • Partnership/shareholder disputes/dissolution
  • Business dissolution
  • Business and real estate transactions
  • Construction litigation/mechanic's liens
  • Collections
  • Employment issues
  • 93A or 358-A claims (unfair or deceptive trade practices)

Mary Notaris understands business law and the need for solutions that acknowledge the bottom line. She seeks out-of-court remedies in the best interests of clients, but does not shy away from pressing your case in litigation if the need arises.
