Business Law

The legal infrastructure that lets a company grow.

Business Law

Whether a seasoned business owner or a newly-formed establishment, our team can help with business formation, contracts, creditor workouts, litigation issues, and more.

Includes

  • Entity Formation
  • Contracts & Negotiation
  • Creditor Workouts
  • Receiverships

Entity Formation & Governance

We help founders choose the right entity — LLC, S-corp, C-corp, professional corporation — and draft the operating, shareholder, and partnership agreements that govern ownership, decision-making, and the eventual exit. Good governance documents prevent the disputes that derail closely held companies.

Contracts & Negotiation

Master service agreements, supplier and distributor contracts, NDAs, employment and independent-contractor agreements, commercial leases, and licensing arrangements. We draft, review, and negotiate the documents that define your commercial relationships.

Creditor Workouts & Loan Restructuring

Out-of-court resolutions that protect lender relationships while restoring borrower viability. We negotiate forbearance agreements, loan modifications, discounted payoffs, deeds in lieu, and inter-creditor and subordination agreements for lenders and borrowers alike.

Receiverships

George Oliver accepts appointments as receiver under North Carolina's Commercial Receivership Act and in federal court, taking custody of assets, operating businesses where appropriate, and reporting to the court. We also represent lenders seeking a receiver and serve as counsel to receivers in complex matters — preserving value through operating or wind-down receiverships.
