Business Law Insights
from one of Syracuse's Top Business Attorneys

Some business owners buy an existing business to reduce their risk when launching a new venture. Sellers only get one shot to harvest what they have spent a lifetime building. Whether you are the Buyer or the Seller, people need experienced legal advice and financial planning to achieve the best results.

If you are starting a new business, remember that time is money. Your best chance for success is the fastest path to revenues.  That means NOT doing everything yourself.  Use trusted advisors to help you set up the business, so you can focus on what makes it special and unique.

Spend your time finding new customers, qualified employees, or improving your products or services.  Leave the other stuff to the professionals, so you can focus more on what makes your business special.
