Business Law
We believe strongly in proper legal documents and planning, as a good legal foundation can make all the difference in avoiding emotional and expensive legal battles in the future.
Every Business is Unique
Whether your business is already established or in the early formation stages, we meet with our clients to understand each client’s unique situation and constraints. Then, together we will craft plans and solutions that suit your needs and protect you and your business.
We also understand that businesses, especially new businesses, face financial constraints and so we work with our clients to ensure they understand their options, the costs involved, and the risks of not doing legal planning. The types of business law services we provide include: entity formation; contract drafting and review; and business succession planning, including buying and selling a business or the business assets.

Business Entity Formation
As business law attorneys, we can assist with forming a corporation (or S-corp), limited liability company (LLC), or (in very limited circumstances) various types of partnerships. Formation includes state filings, securing a tax ID number, drafting the critical and legally required documentation, and meeting to review the formation documents with the clients.
Buying a Business
Purchasing an existing business is an exciting time for the buyer, but purchasing an existing business can also come with great risk. Having the proper purchase documents in place is critical to protecting your investment and limiting your liability when purchasing an existing business.

Selling A Business
Selling your business often marks your exit from years of hard work. There are many ways to plan for the sale of your business, including succession planning to family members. Properly structuring the sale of your business can give you the legal protection you need to ensure your hard work really does pay off.
Commercial Real Estate Law
Are you an individual looking to sell a home or residential property?
Are you a business involved in a commercial real estate purchase?
We can decipher the real estate laws to protect your legal interest and help to take the stress out of the transaction.
At Strohman Ford, LLC we focus on real estate transactions, and unfortunately we are not able to assist with real estate disputes.
Purchase & Sale Agreements: We can take you step-by-step through your sale process, draft and review documents, and close the sale.
Lease Agreements: We can prepare or review a lease agreement to protect your interests.
Residential Real Estate Law
Purchase and Sale of Real Property: Whether it is a land-sale contract with the buyer carrying the loan or a purchase and sale agreement, as a real estate attorney, we can prepare the legal documents necessary to make your real estate transaction a success. In many instances, especially when the buyer and seller know each other, hiring an attorney to prepare the sale agreement and assist with escrow to complete the transaction is likely the most cost-effective option.
Legal Business Contracts
Having a properly drafted contract is critical to setting expectations in a business deal and protecting you in the event the other party does not perform. We can review and provide insight into a proposed contract or create a contract for your business deal, including creating a template that you can use in future deals.
