Business and Corporate Law

Keilen Law gives you the legal tools you need so you can focus on building your business.

Commercial transactions can be complex, and working with an experienced business attorney can ensure that you get the best results for yourself and your business. Working with an attorney from the beginning, before you begin with negotiations, helps you avoid mistakes and misunderstandings. Documents like letters of intent help you and the other party start your negotiations in good faith and with a common understanding of your goals. Parties often share confidential information like lists of creditors, tax documents, and intellectual property assignments during negotiations. A business attorney can establish confidentiality agreements to protect this information. You and your attorney will be able to work together throughout the process to ensure an efficient and successful transaction.

Contracts

Properly written and negotiated contracts are essential for both your business and your personal financial security as a business owner. Creating a formal business entity such as a corporation or limited liability company (LLC) can help shield you from being personally liable for your business’s debts. Our business attorneys have substantial experience in drafting these contracts, as well as leases and other documents. 

Nonprofits

Keilen Law understands the importance of your nonprofit’s mission and your commitment to supporting that mission. We have comprehensive knowledge of the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act that regulates most nonprofit organizations. Our business attorneys are experienced in working with nonprofits on all their required legal services, including managing boards of directors, litigation, government issues, and advocacy.

Business Incorporations

Keilen Law’s general business lawyers can help you determine the best way to incorporate your business, whether that is an LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp, partnership, or other structure. Our business attorneys will assist you with drafting all the necessary contracts and other documents. If you reach the point where you no longer want to run your business, we will guide you through the process of dissolving it while complying with the relevant state and federal laws and minimizing the associated costs for you as much as possible.

Small Businesses and Startups

Whether you are considering starting a business or are already a small business owner, you can benefit from the advice of our business attorneys. We can help you start your business, buy an existing business, or sell your company. Our client-centered approach means that we are committed to your success. Working with Keilen Law ensures that you have access to the legal expertise you need to grow your business without the expense of hiring an in-house legal team.

In my occupation as a financial planner and wealth manager, I come in contact and work with lawyers constantly. I want you to know that Adam Keilen is unlike any other lawyer that you have ever experienced. His initial consultations are complimentary. He uses his time to get to know you, your expectations, goals, and objectives. This also gives you the opportunity to get to know him as well. When you spend time with Adam, you can tell that he is actually interested and vested in providing you the best care and service for your needs. He gives you an accurate quote, he gives you suggestions and advice that pertain to exactly what you are asking without dancing around any issues. He makes sure that nothing is exposed, and that everything is taken care of when it comes to your estate being perfectly planned. Adam created my LLC, and my family trust. Whenever I had a question about anything, I had access to Adam and his expertise. He answered my questions promptly and accurately and he had our trust done just as quickly. I would recommend Adam Keilen from Keilen Law to anyone who is interested in ensuring that their estate is in order, to anyone who does not want anything in their estate to go through probate court, and to anyone who needs to create an LLC for their small business. He truly is the best of the best.
