Running a Main Street business? (real estate, transportation, events, restaurant, retail, construction) You don’t need a lawsuit — you need someone to prevent them.

Why Us?

Here’s What Actually Matters

You’ve worked with lawyers before. The ones who bill you for a 15-minute call and send a 20-page memo when you just needed a straight answer.
That’s not us.
We’re specialists. Business disputes for family owned businesses, healthcare & manufacturing ($150K+ cases). Or flat-fee outside counsel for Main Street businesses. That’s it. No “we’ll figure it out as we go.”
The bill matches the work. Hourly for litigation (unpredictable). Flat-fee at $1,500/mo for GC (shouldn’t be unpredictable). You know before we start.

We care what you care about: Keeping you out of court. GC clients get proactive contracts. Litigation clients get efficient dispute resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is liability risk in risk management?

A liability risk is a vulnerability that can cause a party to be held responsible for certain types of losses. Put another way, it is the risk that an individual or business will take an action that causes bodily injury, death, property damage, or financial loss to 3rd parties.

Why Practice Risk Management?

To avoid injury to guests or employees, and to protect their business operations from financial or physical ruin. Protecting business operations includes protecting against damage to property, damage to reputation, and any financial impacts occurring from litigation. On a larger scale: Reduces the likelihood of an unwanted and unplanned event, reduces the consequences of the event and enhances your ability to access comprehensive and cost-effective insurance.
