General Counsel Services in Fairfield County

Metro New York Attorney for Business Law Concerns

The vast majority of small to medium-sized businesses cannot afford to hire in-house lawyers to offer guidance on everyday concerns. In a large corporation, there may be several full-time attorneys who provide a variety of legal services including counsel on matters such as contractual deals, liability and asset protection, and immediate representation in any legal proceedings that may arise.

At Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC, we recognize that companies of all sizes can be affected by a wide range of legal issues. If such issues are not handled correctly, they could eventually put your company's stability and future in jeopardy. With that in mind, the attorneys at our firm are equipped to provide general business counsel services to small and medium-sized companies throughout the Metro New York area.

White Plains Corporate Lawyers

As a practical matter, most people only hire an attorney when the need for one arises. While an individual might regularly utilize the services of a particular law firm, there is typically no retainer or standing agreement between the attorney and client with regards to the client's private affairs. A business owner, by comparison, will usually face more complex considerations, much more often. These considerations might include hiring or terminating employees, signing a commercial lease, reviewing a business contract, and much more. Business owners should not have to waste time and energy explaining their situation to a different lawyer each time legal assistance is needed. We offer a better solution.

At Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC, our team knows that one of the most important elements of providing quality general counsel services is the familiarity that we will develop with you and your business. When you decide to work with us, we will make it a priority to get to know you as a person and as a business owner in order to build a working relationship centered on open communication and trust. We will work to understand what motivates you, what goals you wish to accomplish and how you intend to achieve them. This approach gives us focused insight and helps us provide counsel that is customized to promote the long-term success of your business.
