Business Matters

Starting a business in Maryland or DC requires thorough planning and, often, addressing legal concerns. Longman & Van Grack’s business attorneys assist business owners in the formation of legally-sound business entities and help entrepreneurs devise business strategies that help them achieve their goals.

Our business lawyers also have a strong background in tax matters; thus, our attorneys also advise our business client on the best type of entity to create based on tax concerns. Our DC and Maryland business attorneys advise our clients on the business start-up and formation process as well as issues related to selection of entity type and jurisdiction, including:

Our firm’s Maryland, Virginia, and DC contract attorneys and commercial litigation attorneys have significant experience representing clients in contract lawsuits and disputes throughout Bethesda, Rockville, Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Howard County, and Washington DC. Our contract dispute lawyers work with clients to resolve all variations of contract disputes, whether through negotiation, mediation, or within a lawsuit.

Our contract attorneys work with individuals who have contract disputes as well as business involved in contract matters. Longman & Van Grack’s contract litigation attorneys and commercial litigation lawyers have worked with clients to enforce contracts when an opponent has breach a contract, and our contract dispute attorneys have worked with clients who have been wrongfully accused of a breach of contract or other contractual-based allegation. Our contract dispute lawyers’ goals are to successfully resolve your contract dispute as efficiently as possible. For this reason, most of our contract litigation clients have been able to resolve their legal disputes prior to facing an actual trial.

Our contract attorneys strongly encourage resolving contract disputes through alternative dispute resolution (such as mediation and settlement) if possible. However, our contract attorneys and commercial litigation attorneys have all the necessary skills and experience to litigate contract disputes in litigation at trial in Maryland, Rockville, Bethesda, or Washington DC.

In consultation with business owners, Longman & Van Grack’s business lawyers regularly review, draft, and negotiate contracts related to various business activities, including:
