Corporate Governance

Intellectual Property
Your business’s intangible assets need to be legally protected. Your venture’s name, brand name, logo, and distinctive products and services are entitled to copyright protection. An experienced business attorney will help you with copyright, trademark, and patent registrations to protect everything that gives your business a competitive advantage in the industry.
Employment Agreements
Your business counts the knowledge of your employees as one of its most vital assets. A business attorney will help you to protect such assets through non-disclosure and non-compete agreements with your employees. This means that even if an employee leaves your business, they cannot take their knowledge of trade secrets over to the competition.
