REal Estate
Handling residential and commercial transactions, leases, disputes, and property law.

Partitions
Partition lawsuits arise when there are multiple owners of a piece of property who no longer wish to own the property together.
There can be multiple reasons for this joint ownership. Perhaps siblings inherited a piece of real estate from mom or dad, or maybe a previously married couple never completely divided assets, or, sometimes, old business partners or friends just jointly own a piece of property.
Regardless of the background, typically, one party winds up being saddled with the costs of maintenance and taxes, or liability for a variety of other issues, while the other is an “absentee” owner.
If you have found yourself in such an unfair situation, you have the right to force a change.
If you are tired of “footing the bill” for property you jointly own with another, or, if you are concerned about liability, you can count on us to zealously represent your interests in a partition action.

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.
