Our Cases

Business Organization & Transactions

Successful Formation of Nonprofit and Business in Buffalo, New York

Our client approached us to form a nonprofit (501c3) to run their charitable initiative. They were unsure of whether to simultaneously also form a business to support the nonprofit. We walked them through a cohesive strategy that will enable both entities to prosper, filed the paperwork on their behalf, and guided them toward launching operations. Both entities continue to thrive.
Other Services

Successful Negotiation of Franchise Disclosure Document and Franchise Agreement, Saving Client 50% of Purchase Price in Buffalo, New York

Our client owned and operated a tavern in Sullivan County during the summer months using one-day beer and wine temporary permits. After applying for, and being denied, a full on-premises liquor license, they came to us for help. Without a full license from the NYSLA, they would be unable to operate and could not afford to stay in business.
Business Contracts & Agreements

Successful Negotiation of Lease for Restaurant in Buffalo, New York

Our client came to us to do a quick lease review to make sure their interests were protected. Luckily, our client reached out to us before they executed the lease, as it was heavily one-sided against them with terms that could have destroyed their business.‍
