Businesses face legal issues at every stage of growth, from startup formation to daily operations to major transitions and disputes. Inosencio & Fisk, PLLC, provides practical legal guidance for business owners, entrepreneurs, and organizations that need trusted counsel in Jackson, Michigan and beyond. The firm states that it works with businesses of all sizes and at all phases of development, whether a client is forming a new LLC or corporation, managing internal company matters, expanding operations, or preparing for dissolution.
Strong business representation is about more than reacting to problems after they arise. It is also about helping clients build a strong legal foundation, reduce risk, and make informed decisions that support long-term success. Inosencio & Fisk assists with business formation, contract negotiation, compliance matters, dispute resolution, and other important legal needs that affect the day-to-day health of a company. The firm also highlights experience with issues that can lead to litigation, including customer complaints, unpaid monies owed to a company, contract disputes, employee matters, liability issues, licensing complications, and disagreements among business owners.
When conflicts develop between partners, members of an LLC, or corporate shareholders, business owners need counsel that understands both the legal and practical stakes involved. In some situations, businesses may even need court intervention involving breach of fiduciary duties, financial improprieties, or dissolution. Inosencio & Fisk recognizes how important a business is to its owners and provides experienced representation in both pursuing and defending business-related claims. For clients seeking practical, comprehensive strategies for both simple and complex business matters, the firm offers legal support designed to protect the business today while positioning it well for the future.
Business Law Services in Jackson, Michigan
Good legal work at the right time saves a business money. Inosencio & Fisk represents startups, family businesses, contractors, professional practices and established companies, and helps them with the legal side of starting, running, growing and transitioning a business.
Starting a business
We help you choose the right structure, whether that is a limited liability company, a corporation or a partnership, and we prepare the formation documents. An operating agreement or bylaws written for your business, not copied from a template, can prevent most of the disputes we see between owners later on.
Contracts and day-to-day counsel
We draft and review customer contracts, vendor and supply agreements, construction contracts, leases, employment-related agreements and terms of service. Clear contracts set expectations, protect your payment rights, and give you options when the other side does not hold up its end.
Disputes between owners
Disagreements between partners, LLC members or shareholders can threaten the business itself. We represent owners in disputes over management, money, buyouts and breach of fiduciary duty, and we look first for a resolution that keeps the business running. When that is not possible, we handle dissolution and litigation.
Collections and business litigation
When customers do not pay or a contract is broken, we pursue what is owed through demand, negotiation, lawsuits and post-judgment collection. We also defend businesses that are sued. Our attorneys handle cases in Michigan state courts and in federal court.
Buying, selling or closing a business
We assist with the purchase and sale of businesses and business assets, and with orderly dissolutions. Because we also practice real estate and estate planning law, we can coordinate the property and succession pieces of a transaction in one place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I form an LLC or a corporation in Michigan?
Many small businesses choose an LLC for its flexibility and simpler administration, while a corporation may suit companies planning to bring in investors. The right choice depends on ownership, taxes and future plans, so it is worth a short consultation with an attorney and your accountant.
Do I really need an operating agreement for my LLC?
Michigan does not require one, but it is one of the most important documents a multi-owner LLC can have. It spells out ownership, decision-making, what happens if an owner leaves, and how disputes are handled.
What can I do if a business partner is taking money from the company?
You may have claims for breach of fiduciary duty and other remedies, and the court can order relief up to dissolution in some cases. Act quickly to preserve records and talk with an attorney before confronting the other owner.
Can you help collect unpaid invoices?
Yes. We handle collections for businesses, from demand letters through lawsuits and post-judgment collection.
