Business and Commercial Transactions

Business and commercial transactions are sometimes simpler than others would lead you to believe. On the other hand, the complexities of even the simplest of business transaction can easily go unrecognized by the inexperienced practitioner or layperson.

Making simple issues unnecessarily complex can result in extra and unwanted legal fees that could be otherwise avoided. However, overlooking issues can lead to serious and costly ramifications down the road.

Waite & Associates believes that you should not be charged excessive fees for the preparation of documents that derive from basic business forms that have already been time-tested. Often the basic documents a start-up company needs such as a simple certificate of incorporating a basic set of by-laws and corporate books can easily be prepared with minimal attorney time involved. Our fees reflect time spent providing legal advice and are not based upon the re-creation of already established and accepted legal forms.




Waite & Associates can help you with the following types of business and commercial transactions:


  • Establishment of corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and other business structures
  • Creation of required legal guidelines for the operation of a business structure
    (i.e. corporate by-laws, operating agreements, partnership agreements)
  • Corporate financing
  • Mergers and Acquisitions
  • Shareholder Agreements
  • Buy-Out Agreements
