Business and Real Estate Law
Business Formation
The majority of the economy is made up of independent business owners and operators. Establishing a business creates jobs and helps improve the economy. The formal creation of corporations or companies protects the personal assets of the business owner and provides significant tax benefits.
As an entrepreneur, sufficient planning and legal preparation helps you create and maintain a successful business. Identifying the type of business that best meets your company’s needs will help you better understand your legal obligations and responsibilities as a business owner.
A corporation and a limited liability company (LLC) are filed as Articles of Incorporation or Organization with the Kansas or Missouri Secretary of State. The business is established as a separate legal entity from the individual operating the business, transferring obligations to the company to protect the assets of the owner in case of a business failure.
A sole proprietorship is essentially a business that is not a separate entity from the owner. The business owner is the solely responsible for all legal obligations and responsibilities of the company.
A general partnership involves two or more people forming a business together without establishing a separate business entity making each individual owner responsible for the company’s obligations and responsibilities. We strongly encourage partners to create legal agreements outlining the division of profits, rights, and responsibilities.
There are many legal obligations and requirements needed to form a business and that’s why you need an experienced business lawyer on your side. Most business ligation can be avoided with a comprehensive contract and thorough legal agreements that protect the business and those involved.
If business ligation occurs, seek out a lawyer that specializes in business formation and is knowledgeable of the Missouri and Kansas business laws. Seek professional legal assistance for successful business formation.

Real Estate Contracts
If you are looking to buy or sell your home, have an experienced real estate attorney review legal agreements and create real estate contracts that document the rights and obligations of both parties.
Real estate contracts include freehold or permanent conveyances, purchase contracts, deeds, and agreements between landlord and tenant. Everything must be in writing and all parties, property, and pricing must be identified. It should include all contingencies, which are conditions that must be met before the contract takes effect. A mortgage contingency is the most common, requiring approval of a mortgage loan before buyer can purchase the property.
Before drafting and/or signing a real estate contract, make sure you fully understand the terms and know your rights and responsibilities. Seek the legal advice you need to ensure you are aware of your rights and obligations detailed in a real estate contract. Let your lawyer draft or review your real estate contract to be sure your needs and rights are protected.

Civil Litigation
You have the right to seek money damages or compensation for a loss, wrongful death, personal injury, malpractice, or any other violation of your rights or a breach in contract. Civil litigation is a legal dispute between two or more individuals or an individual and organization, in which an individual is seeking compensation. In a civil ligation you will need a lawyer that will represent you in hearings, arbitrations, mediation, or a trial.
Different types of civil ligations are:
- Worker’s compensation
- Employee discrimination or harassment
- General civil claims
- Medical malpractice
- Personal injury
- Landlord/tenant
- And more
A civil litigation suit is in effect once you submit a complaint. This is why it is important to seek legal assistance in advance to prepare for your case.
Your lawyer should collect the proper evidence, information and witness statements that would assist your case. In addition, your lawyer should be fair and honest in suggesting the best possible outcome for your case. Your lawyer should fully explain your civil rights and would fight to protect them.
