Business & Corporate
Corporate & Commercial
Ongoing legal support for businesses: governance, agreements, owners and day-to-day questions.
Overview
What this involves
Most businesses need legal input long before anything goes wrong: when a new shareholder or member joins, when a customer sends its own contract, when a decision needs board approval, or when an employee leaves. Having counsel who already understands the business makes those moments easier.
KMC Justice advises privately held companies, closely held businesses and the people who run them.
How We Assist
How KMC Justice Can Assist
We work on the corporate records, agreements and decisions that keep a business in good order, and we flag issues while they are still easy to deal with. Where a question belongs in another practice area, such as employment, tax or a dispute, we say so and bring that area in.

- Corporate governance, minutes and resolutions
- Shareholder, partnership and member agreements
- Disputes between shareholders or members, buy-outs and exits
- Commercial contracts with customers and suppliers

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can you act as our regular legal advisor?
Yes, many businesses use a firm for ongoing questions rather than one-off projects. How the engagement works is agreed at the outset.
Can you review our existing governance documents?
Yes. A review of agreements and corporate records is often a useful first step and can identify gaps before they cause a problem.
Do you advise companies outside New York?
We advise businesses in other states and countries. Where another jurisdiction's law applies, we work with local counsel.
