Protecting, Defending, and Expanding Your Business Interests

Along with generating profits, business owners contend with a litany of concerns: protecting your company’s intellectual property, managing employees, working with vendors, handling contracts—the list goes on. Though your size may not warrant an in-house attorney, you do need experienced, approachable legal counsel to protect your business interests.

The attorneys at Marks DiPalermo Wilson provide small and midsize business owners with trusted legal guidance on all aspects of corporate law. Our decades of experience span real estate, sports, entertainment, medical, and estate law. We support you throughout your business lifecycle, offering creative solutions to help maximize opportunities, mitigate risks, and protect your intellectual property.

As your counsel, we proactively focus on your big picture and provide detailed attention to facilitate smooth operations and growth. Should you ever need it—we’ll also litigate on your behalf. And because small business owners are the bedrock of our economy, our mission is simple: deliver boutique service without the big firm fees.

While we may not be in your office, we’re readily available to find the best solution to protect, defend, and expand your business interests—whether that’s proactively developing strategies or simply talking through scenarios.
