Business LitigationWhen a dispute arises, our San Jose, Los Angeles, Austin, and Portland business lawyers excel at resolving the dispute through all available means, whether trial, arbitration, mediation, or pre-litigation settlement. Our business litigation attorneys have prevailed at trial and binding arbitration, obtaining judgments and awards worth millions of dollars, and have successfully defended cases where our clients were claimed to have owed millions of dollars. We have further resolved a far greater number of cases outside of court on favorable terms to our clients.
We typically litigate cases involving breach of contract, intellectual property infringement, commercial real estate, shareholder and partnership disputes, and business torts. Our offices are conveniently located near the federal and state courts in Santa Clara County, Los Angeles County, Travis County, and Multnomah County.
Mergers & AcquisitionsOur M&A attorneys have represented both buyers and sellers in hundreds of merger and acquisition deals and transactions valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. A successful merger requires legal knowledge and experience in many areas of law, including securities regulation, antitrust, tax, employment, general corporate law, and commercial law, among others. Whatever the type of deal - whether a merger, acquisition, or other form of business divestiture or exit – experience and breadth of experience are critical. Structure Law Group, LLP has handled hundreds of mergers and has attorneys with experience handling transactions of all sizes.
Real EstateWe provide commercial real estate assistance to clients in connection with the purchase, sale, and leasing of commercial real estate in California, Texas, and Oregon. Commercial real estate clients include businesses and corporations of all sizes, condominium boards, property owners, shareholders, partners, commercial and residential landlords, property owners, management companies, and investors. Commercial real estate matters often call for specialized knowledge in related areas of law. Commercial real estate transactions involve complex documents, which are often the product of significant negotiation between the parties of the contract. Land use, zoning laws, and environmental issues must be thoroughly considered, reviewed, and taken into account before drafting or signing any legal documents.
Employment LawWith our employment law experience, we assist our clients with hiring, protection of trade secrets and inventions, severance arrangements, bonus and profit-sharing arrangements, and all other employment-related legal issues. Failing to fully comply with employment laws or address employee-related legal issues often results in costly litigation and settlements for companies – our business attorneys work with businesses to reduce risks.
Intellectual PropertyIntellectual property, whether a trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent, is a significant asset for many companies. Structure Law Group, LLP routinely advises clients on matters such as trademarks, trade names, copyright, and trade secrets through the use and preparation of agreements such as intellectual property licensing and non-disclosure agreements.
Debtor-Creditor RightsStructure Law Group, LLP also represents debtors and creditors (both pre- and post-judgment) in matters ranging from commercial collection, to pre- and post-judgment remedies, to bankruptcy and insolvency matters. We frequently counsel clients on matters that range from the purchase and sale of distressed real estate and other assets, enforcement of guarantees, litigating issues involving alter ego liability, judgment enforcement and avoidance strategies, loan and debt workouts and restructuring, writs of attachment, voidable transfers, among other things.
