We offer comprehensive legal services tailored to meet the unique needs of your business, whether you're a startup looking to establish a solid foundation or a mature company preparing for expansion. Our expertise spans the entire business lifecycle, ensuring that at every stage, you have the legal support and guidance you need to thrive.
From the inception of your business to exit, we provide strategic advice on business formation, helping you choose the right entity type—be it a corporation, LLC, partnership, or sole proprietorship. We assist with drafting and filing the necessary documents, including articles of incorporation, operating agreements, and shareholder agreements, to ensure your business is structured correctly from the outset. Our goal is to help you avoid common pitfalls and set up a business that is legally sound and poised for growth.
As your business evolves, so do your legal needs. Our team is adept at negotiating and drafting a wide range of contracts and agreements, from vendor contracts and employment agreements to consulting and licensing agreements. We take the time to understand your business objectives and craft agreements that protect your interests while fostering positive business relationships. In addition, we provide ongoing counsel on regulatory compliance, risk management, and dispute resolution, ensuring your business remains on a strong legal footing at all times.
Trademark
Protecting your brand is a key driver of long-term sustainable growth, and securing your intellectual property rights is an essential step in that process. At Nazzaro, we guide our clients through the intricacies of trademark law, providing the necessary legal support to safeguard their brands. We assist with preparing and filing both state and federal trademark applications to register word marks, design marks, or a combination of both.
Our approach begins with understanding your business and brand objectives. We offer guidance on selecting strong, distinctive trademarks that can effectively identify your products or services in the marketplace. Our team conducts preliminary trademark searches to identify any potential conflicts with existing trademarks, helping to minimize the risk of challenges or rejections during the application process.
Once the preliminary groundwork is laid, we manage the entire application process, from filing to responding to any inquiries or objections raised by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Our goal is to make the trademark registration process as smooth as possible, ensuring your brand is protected and your business can continue to grow with confidence.
Estate Planning
Many of our clients have spent decades building their businesses and accumulating wealth, and we are dedicated to helping them protect what they have worked so hard to achieve. At Nazzaro, we understand that estate planning is not just about preparing for the future; it’s about preserving a legacy. Our team works closely with business owners and their families to develop comprehensive estate plans that reflect their values and long-term goals.
We provide a wide range of estate planning services, including the formation of trusts, drafting of wills, and creation of powers of attorney. We help clients understand the benefits of different types of trusts, such as revocable living trusts and irrevocable trusts, to determine which best suits their needs. Our goal is to help our clients minimize estate taxes, avoid probate, and ensure a smooth transition of assets to their beneficiaries.
In addition to drafting estate planning documents, we offer guidance on wealth preservation strategies, charitable giving, and business succession planning. We understand that each client’s situation is unique, and we take the time to listen and craft a personalized plan that provides peace of mind. Whether you are planning for retirement, the transfer of your business, or the financial security of future generations, we are here to help safeguard your legacy for years to come.
