Business Law

At Damon, Ver Merris, Boyko & Witte, PLC, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, our attorneys focus on the legal aspects of business so our clients can focus on the business itself. Our firm works closely with businesses throughout West Michigan to minimize the possibility of business litigation. However, when business disputes occur, we have the skills necessary to successfully handle mediation, arbitration, and litigation.

Supporting Businesses

From business organization to business succession planning, our lawyers are committed to the long term success of our clients’ business ventures. All of our business attorneys have more than twenty-five years of experience representing the interests of businesses. We recognize that many day-to-day business concerns have legal implications. Business contracts, employment matters, and collections are only a few of the matters affecting large and small companies on a daily basis.

As a full service business law firm, our attorneys are prepared to help entrepreneurs establish LLCs, S-Corps, or C-Corps. In addition, we have the skills to help established businesses manage complex business transactions involving the purchase and sale of businesses or business assets, obtain secured financing, and developing and drafting separation and related agreements between partners and shareholders.

Business Collections

The collection of debts is an important part of the continuing success of our clients’ businesses. Our lawyers have vast experience counseling businesses on collection matters. While collecting debts is important, we understand that there are costs associated with collection activity. Our lawyers regularly advise clients on whether a debt is likely collectable, and whether it is financially prudent to pursue a past due debt.

If an account debtor has filed bankruptcy, we can file a proof of claim with the bankruptcy court, advise if the debt might be non-dischargeable, and defend against claims made by a Trustee for return of money or property as an alleged preferential or fraudulent transfer.
