LEASES
Our attorneys are very active in negotiating and structuring leases on behalf of both landlords and tenants.
CONTRACTS
Businesses frequently need assistance in the negotiation, interpretation, and drafting of important contracts with customers, suppliers, etc. We regularly help clients in such matters.
COLLECTIONS
CIVIL LITIGATION DEFENSE
Martin, Elliott & Snell, PC serves clients with complex cases in industries ranging from insurance to energy and utilities, and from consumer products and retail businesses to high-technology manufacturers.
Given the vast scope of commercial litigation, our group uses a team approach, providing the most efficient and flexible use of resources for our clients. Where litigation is not the best approach for a client, we look to various forms of alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration and mediation. Our track record exemplifies the favorable results we obtain for our clients both inside and outside the courtroom.
REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
For over twenty years, our real estate attorneys have handled all transactional matters surrounding residential and commercial real estate in Oregon, including Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas counties, and litigating any disputes that arise. We will quickly and affordably secure the deal that you expect. Our goal for your real estate matter is to efficiently memorialize your transaction, spot any approaching problems, deal with them before they become worse, and keep your transaction moving productively forward. Closing the deal on your terms is our mission.
INCORPORATIONS
One of the first, and perhaps the most important issue for many businesses, is deciding which form of business entity to use, e.g., corporation, LLC, etc. We work closely with clients and their financial advisors to determine what long-term goals are sought, and which type of entity will best enable the client to achieve those goals. We handle all aspects of forming the entity, qualifying it to do business in other states where necessary, and providing ongoing legal support of company operations and maintenance of the entity after formation.
PARTNERSHIPS
We advise clients on the formation and operation of partnerships, joint ventures and limited liability companies doing business in a variety of industries, including technology, real estate, health care, fisheries and transportation. Our lawyers have substantial experience drafting and negotiating agreements to form these entities and advising clients on the tax and liability issues that these types of business arrangements present.
SALE OR PURCHASE OF BUSINESS
A significant aspect of our practice involves working with clients to plan, structure, evaluate, negotiate, and document the purchase or sale of businesses. This work is done in close concert with the client and its advisors who make up the business team. We will listen to your goals and needs, and help you achieve those goals in the transaction. We will look for innovative ways to achieve that objective.
Free Phone Interview
Martin, Elliott & Snell offers a free 15 minute phone interview to explore whether one of our attorneys can serve your legal needs. You will speak directly with a lawyer not a legal assistant. We handle claims for injuries of all kinds and wrongful death on a contingency basis. We are not paid a fee unless fair compensation for the loss suffered is recovered by settlement or after trial.
The brief free phone interview is not an in depth consultation and no legal advice regarding the particular claim will be offered. For that, you will need to schedule an office legal consultation, for which there may be a charge depending on the circumstances. The phone interview DOES NOT create an attorney client relationship or an obligation for us to provide any additional services. It is intended to help you decide if you would like to retain our services.
