Formation & OPERATION

START IT OFF RIGHT & KEEP IT RUNNING SMOOTHLY

Small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the economy; and their success is crucial to that of the state wherein they operate. Without the dedication and efforts of the countless entrepreneurs in the state, California would not have the third largest economy in the world today and Texas would not be thriving as it has over the last several decades. Unfortunately, starting a business can be overwhelming and burdensome, especially when one lacks the experience and legal knowledge necessary to properly structure the business entity in compliance with state and federal laws. TWM Legal has represented clients in the formation of all sorts of business entities. Whether you are looking to form a corporation (including S-Corp), Limited Liability Company (LLC), or a General or Limited Partnership, TWM Legal is here to help!

Merger & Acquistion

ADAPT YOUR BUSINESS TO FIT YOUR GOALS

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are an aspect of corporate strategy dealing with the buying, selling, and combining of different companies to help an enterprise grow rapidly in its sector or geographical location.

Whether the person is to be an independent contractor or a staff employee, ensuring that each term, expectation and duty is clearly identified and outlined for each worker is crucial prior to initiating the employment relationship. If you own a business and require assistance drafting, interpreting, or enforcing your employment contract, call TWM Legal today or contact us online for a free consultation.

BUSINESS Litigation

PROTECT WHAT YOU'VE BUILT 

Technology-based growth has erupted since the early 2000s. From hundreds of companies ranging from small high tech startups to corporate hardware and software giants, the high tech industry has become the economic backbone to flourishing communities like that of the Silicon Valley. Today, Sacramento is attracting the same start-up tech industry with all the State's Capitol has to offer.

The explosive growth in the high tech industry has, unfortunately, brought with it new hurtles. Protecting one's ideas, trade secrets, and other intellectual property has become a serious legal issue in today's competitive technology markets. Use of Non-Disclosure Agreements, Licensing Agreements, Patents, Copyrights, and other legal defense tactics are often insufficient today to avoid litigation altogether.

If you own or operate a technology company and are involved in a dispute or litigation, turn to TWM Legal for help. With an Attorney-Engineer on staff with design and manufacturing experience in the high tech and telecommunications industries, TWM Legal has the scientific knowledge, technical expertise, and experience necessary to efficiently and effectively argue your rights in court.

In today's fast-paced, technologically advanced, and highly connected society, safeguarding your intellectual property rights has never been more important. Only inventors, designers, developers, and innovators who Patent, Trademark, and/or Copyright their products and processes can enforce their rights in federal court.

• Misappropriation and wrongful use of trade secrets

• Unauthorized use of patented software innovations on mobile devices

• Unauthorized appropriation of software source code by software industry giants

• Infringement on biotechnology and nanotechnology patents in the name of research

• Infringement on Media and/or Marketing Licenses
