Virginia Business Formation

The Virginia business law attorneys at PJI Law provide business formation services for clients. We can help you establish any type of business entity, from sole proprietorships to LLCs, to C-corporations. First, we will discuss your business plan to determine the type of business entity you need to form. You’ll likely have more than one viable option, so we will go over the benefits and drawbacks of each one to help you make a selection.

After choosing the type of business entity, we can then guide you through the steps for forming your company. This includes assisting you with choosing the location, obtaining permits, and submitting the paperwork. Our firm can even serve as your Registered Agent once your company is open. With our help, you won’t have to worry about mistakes, oversights or legal roadblocks standing in your way of achieving your dream of opening a business.

Virginia Business Contracts

Our Virginia business law attorneys can also assist you with drafting and editing contracts for your company. Virginia judges do not adhere to the “blue pencil rule,” meaning they will not modify your contract to make it clear, reasonable, and enforceable. Thus, you only get one chance to create a legally binding contract, so hiring a lawyer is critical.

We can also review contracts before you sign them. Our Virginia business law attorneys will put your company’s interests first when reviewing documents. We can submit changes and negotiate the language in the contract to ensure that your business is protected.

Virginia Non-compete Agreements

The idea of an employee quitting your company and then working for a direct competitor is enough to keep you up at night. You know that a former employee could give away trade secrets, making it harder for your business to excel. Our Virginia business law attorneys work to draft legally binding non-compete agreements for companies. We understand the Virginia court system and the types of non-compete agreements judges will enforce. These agreements must be reasonable and cannot make it impossible for former employees to earn a living after leaving your company. We will go over the guidelines for these agreements and then create them for your company.

Virginia Commercial Litigation

No matter how much you protect your company, you could face a dispute that leads to commercial litigation. PJI Law represents clients on both sides of the courtroom. We can defend you against charges or help you file a suit against another party. We also help pursue alternative dispute resolution to help our clients avoid the courtroom. Facing commercial litigation can be overwhelming, but you will feel at ease when you have our Virginia business law attorneys by your side. Our legal team works tirelessly to help clients achieve the desired outcomes.
