In addition to preparing contracts, dealing with both routine and unusual business problems are some of the specialties of Dan Newland, the founder of Newland & Associates, P.L.C. and The Tax and Business Professionals, Inc. Like many business lawyers with a tax background, Dan handles a wide range of legal problems:

• Business and Tax Litigation
• Business Formation and Related Planning
• Sales and Purchases of Businesses
• Employment Agreements and Related Planning
• Covenants Not to Compete
• Corporate Mergers
• Employee Incentive Arrangements
• Estate Planning for Businesses
• Trusts
• Administrative Law
• Tax Matters

You can avoid many pitfalls or recurring business problems by practicing "preventative" law; for instance, protecting trade secrets before disclosing them to a visitor or not allowing employees to have access to customer lists and trade secrets without a "covenant not to compete." The key is not the documentation, but rather the planning for the documentation. Oral contracts, while legal, are often the end product of a failure to plan and think constructively.

Newland & Associates will help you think your business problems through and translate the solutions into appropriate contracts, wills, or covenants not to compete.

Key employees will leave and become competitors. Business owners can become incapacitated or die. When it happens, it's too late to wonder "What are we going to do now?" Let Newland & Associates help you prepare appropriate legal documents to ensure your business survives these and other contingencies.
