Vision is the driving force behind success. Because our Commercial & Corporate Practice Group takes responsibility for understanding the client strategies supporting that vision, we are able to identify obstacles and shape the deals that result in project success.
Blumling & Gusky offers the following services specifically tailored for our Commercial & Corporate Clients: Business Planning; Contract Negotiations and Preparation; Commercial Litigation; Riverboat Gaming; and Labor and Employment Issues.
Business planning involves not only structuring the legal entity of the business but also planning for the succession or transfer of the business. Working closely with our clients, we maximize the effectiveness of the business planning process. Because of our unique combination of knowledge in the construction, real estate, and business transaction areas, we are able to recommend strategic approaches to the business structure.
Many conflicts typically encountered can be avoided at the contract negotiation stage through clarification of the parties’ responsibilities. We provide consultation and assistance in the negotiation, drafting and review of a wide range of contractual agreements, including asset purchase and sale, leases, shareholder, employment and non-competition, and partnership and joint venture agreements.
Avoidance of commercial disputes is not always possible. When disputes arise, our goal is to resolve them efficiently and effectively. We fully explore resolution through negotiation or litigation. In the event that the matter is taken to trial, we have substantial litigation experience, including minority shareholder disputes, partnership contests, tax appeals, employer covenants, and creditors’ claims.
Blumling & Gusky has national experience in riverboat casino and hotel developments. Our attorneys draw upon their expertise in maritime, financing, real estate acquisition and development, and legalized gaming issues to provide solutions to these interrelated and complex projects.
We advise our clients regarding various labor, discrimination and employment issues. These include organized labor relations, employee handbooks, sexual harassment policies, employee benefits, wage and hour compliance, and drug and alcohol policies. We represent our clients before a variety of governmental agencies and enforcement boards in these areas.
