What We Do
Areas of Practice
WALLA WALLA WA ATTORNEYS AT LAW
Business Law
Business law covers a variety of issues ranging from contract formation to partnership disputes. At Basalt Legal PLLC, we help our clients resolve these types of business-related matters, in addition to:
- Structuring businesses to limit liability;
- Reviewing leases, loans, and other contracts;
- Assisting clients with the sale or purchase of a business;
- Helping companies smoothly transition during a merger; and
- Mediating contract disputes.
Although litigation is usually a last resort, it is often a necessary step when a business is encountering legal issues or if partner negotiations are not working. Dealing with these kinds of issues is difficult, as business law is known for being particularly complex, so if you have questions about starting your own business or entering into a contract, it is critical to speak with an experienced business attorney who can help protect your interests.
Civil Litigation
Civil litigation involves a legal dispute between two parties, at least one of whom is seeking monetary compensation rather than criminal penalties. Many people associate civil litigation with personal injury cases, where one party’s negligence caused another person to sustain a serious injury. While we do handle these types of cases, civil litigation actually covers a much wider range of issues, including those related to:
- Landlord/tenant disputes;
- Product liability claims;
- Disputes related to trade secrets;
- Medical malpractice claims;
- Employment disputes; and
- Disputes involving real estate, including easements, trespassing, boundary adjustments, and other issues.
