Thanks to advancements in medical care, , preventive health measures, and increasing awareness of nutrition and exercise, an unprecedented number of Americans are enjoying longer, healthier lives. For many, however, the extended aging process presents challenges that may require adjustments in living arrangements. It is essential to develop plans for when the ability to live independently becomes difficult. The elder law attorneys at Anderson Law Firm understand the legalities of aging and can be instrumental in the creation and implementation of these plans.
While everyone hopes to live a long and active life, responsible planning with an elder law attorney can give you and your family peace of mind if an unexpected event or medical condition changes your circumstances.

Elder Law is a specialized area of legal practice focused on providing counsel and representation of older individuals and persons with special needs, as well as their families and representatives, regarding legal matters related to aspects of health and long-term care planning, public benefits, surrogate decision making, legal capacity, administration of estates and the implementation of their decisions concerning such matters.
As part of entity formation, we confer with you, prepare and file certificates of organization, and obtain tax identification numbers for your business. We also assist you with corporate governance, including the drafting of customized operating agreements, partnership agreements, articles of incorporation and bylaws. Such documents provide guidance to you and any business partners, limit disputes between partners, and limit the ability of adversaries to challenge the legitimacy of your business and to come after you personally in the event of a lawsuit.
We continue to assist business owners on legal matters so they can focus on doing what they do best. Think of us as your go-to, outside general counsel for emerging and established businesses of all sizes across a myriad of industries. We use our years of practice and our own experiences as small business owners to advise you on a variety of corporate, transactional, employment, policy, operational and compliance issues.
We review and draft legal documents that include contracts, leases and employee handbooks. We do more than download forms from the web. We prepare customized documents to address your needs, such as employment agreements and non-compete agreements with your employees, independent contractor agreements, and non-disclosure agreements and other specialized commercial contracts that you may need for operating your business. Moreover, as you grow, we can help you add partners and transfer shares and membership interest in the company to others.
We also are there for you to head off legal problems in the workplace, such as disgruntled employees threatening to sue for discrimination. We partner with our litigation team when a lawsuit is on the horizon.
Finally, we can help you exit the business that you have spent years building. We work with our clients and partners in related fields, such as accounting and financial planning, to determine if the business should be handed down to the next generation, sold to the existing management team or sold to a third party.
Throughout the entire life-cycle of any business, it is important to work with experienced and trusted attorneys who can give you counsel and any litigation assistance necessary. Our greatest concern is protecting and strengthening your business by giving practical advice in a cost-effective manner.
We have the legal knowledge and skills to protect your personal and business interests. Consider Anderson Law Firm your legal partner in business and life. Call us now at 412-209-3200 or send us an email at contactus@PaLawFirm.com to schedule a free, no-obligation conference to assess your needs.
