Small Business Representation

At Cohen & Lucyniak, we believe that small businesses are an integral part of our state’s economic vitality.  We understand that owning a small business is a large undertaking on its own merits.  That’s why we specialize in ensuring that small business owners have the legal tools to prevent – and if necessary – resolve disputes surrounding their business. We are experienced in litigating and negotiating partnership and shareholder disputes. In cases of partnership or corporate dissolution, we assist in resolving outstanding issues and settling the affairs of the business. Because of our experience in this area, we can often minimize the potential financial and emotional fall-out resulting from these dissolutions.  

We are skilled in representing limited liability companies (LLC), partnerships, S-corporations, trusts and closely-held corporations, housing co-ops and venture capital funds, as well as larger entities. Regardless of the business type, it is critical to develop a comprehensive exit strategy – we  know how to create a plan that shields you from continuing liability, yet resolves all ongoing business issues.
