Need Legal Help for Your Business? Find It Here

When my husband I decided to start a business, we didn't think about the legal aspects of doing so. We didn't realize that purchasing business insurance, getting building permits and making investments all required some type of legal advice. But after speaking to a close friend, who also happens to own a small business, we contacted a business attorney. Now, we have the legal smarts to make the best decisions for our business, as well as the legal representation in case something happens to our company. I hope that you find my blog helpful and informative for your own business. It's a great resource for finding the legal advice, resources and guidance you need to get your company up and running.

  • What Should You Know About Inheriting Oil And Gas Leases?

    28 July 2015

    If you've recently found yourself the owner (or partial owner) of your relative's home after his or her death, you may be wondering about your next steps. And if your relative's home happens to be subject to an oil or gas lease, this matter can become more complex.
