Goldstein and Clegg provides businesses located in Massachusetts with a complete range of business contract services.

Small businesses can have their own in-house counsel

Many business owners delay hiring a lawyer until they have been sued. However, reacting to a crisis can be much more costly than proactively assessing and managing risk. Spending a little money now can save your company a lot of money later. Our firm provides the benefits of an in-house lawyer at affordable, flat fees.

We help maximize your business' profit potential and market value by proactively addressing potential sources of loss. Protect the value of your branding, reduce the risk of unfair competition by former employees and co-owners, and decrease the chances of being assessed with substantial judgments.

The law office of Goldstein and Clegg can assist your corporate counsel work more efficiently. We can also help bigger entities' legal departments to assess and manage risk and work more efficiently toward addressing potential employment law issues.

The lawyers at the law office of Goldstein and Clegg, LLC have extensive experience helping entrepreneurs in Massachusetts determine the proper organizational structure for their businesses. We handle issues surrounding new business formation and are committed to guiding clients through the complex first steps toward business ownership.

There are several types of organizational structures for new business enterprises: limited liability company (LLC), C Corp, and S Corp. The type of organizational structure a business is formed under can have a significant impact on tax liabilities and personal financial liability issues.

Selecting an organizational structure is only the first step in establishing a successful business. We work with clients on licensing issues, commercial real estate and leases, corporate minutes, employment matters, drafting service agreements and other corporate contracts, and establishing who is in control of the business.

If you run a business where you perform work related services or sell products on credit, such as a construction, electrical, web design or others, you may face the situation of clients not paying you. Goldstein and Clegg can help you collect the money that is owed to you. Unlike a collection agency, we are lawyers, and have powers granted to attorneys that collection agencies do not, such as the ability to sue for your money, and not waste time writing useless letters and making phone calls. We can get a court order to get you paid the money you are owed.

Our firm also handles employment law for business owners here.
