General Counsel Services
Many small or mid-size businesses do not have the resources to have an attorney or legal team on staff. However, it can be very inefficient to seek out a lawyer on an as-needed basis when legal issues need to be addressed. With Shakfeh Law LLC serving as your general counsel, you can have the assurance that legal matters will be handled properly. We will work with you to gain a full understanding of your business and your needs and goals, and we will not only help you resolve any legal concerns you face, but we will work to identify any issues that may arise in the future, helping you manage potential risks and build a strategy for success.
As your general counsel, we can assist with a wide variety of legal matters, including:
- Corporate formation – Whether you are initially starting a business, need to establish a formal structure for your company, or wish to restructure your business to meet your needs, we can help you understand your best options and ensure that you meet all legal requirements.

- Business litigation – If legal disputes arise that need to be settled in the courtroom, such as breach of contract claims, we can provide legal representation and protect your business interests.
- Commercial real estate – Whether you will be leasing property where your business will operate or serving as a landlord for commercial tenants, we can ensure that your lease agreements will meet your needs.
