Business Litigation: Regardless of the industry, business owners face a significant variety of legal issues and disputes ranging from financing, partnership agreements, sales transactions, service contracts, vendor agreements, intellectual property, purchase orders and employment matters to name just a few. Many of which can cause significant and time-consuming litigation. The skilled Los Angeles business litigation attorneys at Structure Law Group will help your business explore alternative methods of dispute resolution. If litigation is necessary, we will guide you through the complex process quickly and efficiently and we will explore all options for a successful outcome.

Business Transactions: At some point, every successful Los Angeles business owner executes on their business strategies and conducts transactions. But every business transaction involves inherent risk upon occurrence. Any time money is exchanged, or contracts are formed, the transaction puts all parties at risk of litigation, asset depreciation, liability for substandard deliveries or services, and more. Our experienced Los Angeles business attorneys will conduct thorough due diligence investigations to uncover potential risks inherent to the transaction, before liability arises. They will walk your business through the necessary processes to ensure all risks are considered, appropriately addressed, and mitigated to the extent possible.

Construction Contracting & Payment Claims: As builders, developers, homeowners and speculators know, construction is one of the most dispute-prone industries in the United States. Construction claims, disruptions, disputes and defects can seriously hinder your project and adversely affect profits. SLG’s experienced team of litigators can fully evaluate claims, defenses, bonds, liens, general and sub-contractor agreements, including any actual or potential litigation disputes. In addition, we also have experience handling a wide variety of construction related services including contract review/analysis as well as addressing service, workmanship and payment disputes. Allow our experienced attorneys to provide guidance, insight, and years of relevant experience to address these issues upfront. By developing a proactive strategy that meets your specific needs in advance, we can reduce the likelihood of disputes, set-backs, disruptions, and mitigate the damage if they occur or have already occurred. If your construction project is getting de-railed for any reason, SLG’s experienced attorneys can help ensure it gets back on track.

Debtor and Creditor Rights: When an individual or business does not pay its debts, attorney involvement may be necessary to ensure collection on the debt, or to ensure your rights are not abrogated in defending non-payment of the debt. Creditors' rights involve procedural provisions, rules, and regulations that are designed to protect the ability to collect the money that is owed. Debtors’ rights include a series of statutes, safe-guards and procedures designed to deter hostile and illegal collection activity against a debtor. Further, both individual and corporate Bankruptcy proceedings inject a complex set of issues, and sometimes risk, that creditors and debtors need to be careful of while navigating the legal landscape. SLG creditor and debtor attorneys have experience in these complex areas of law and can help you and your business navigate the web of regulations, procedures and legal environment to help ensure success in your endeavor.

Mergers & Acquisitions: For many business owners, buying or selling a company’s assets or its equity is a once in a lifetime event. For others, it is a regular part of their company’s business strategy and operations. While a merger or acquisition can be an ideal move to grow a company, it is accompanied by its own set of inherent risks.
