Real Estate Developments
Our firm provides legal counseling and services to residential and commercial land developers, including the development of subdivisions, neighborhoods, condominiums, town homes, shopping and retail centers, industrial, office, mixed-use, and other planned development projects. Our lawyers assist with variances, restrictive covenants and easements, surveying requirements, and a variety of other issues related to land use and environmental regulations.
Construction Liens
A difficult aspect of being a contractor in Louisiana is securing final payment when work is complete. The Louisiana Private Works Act and Louisiana Public Works Act allows contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, and equipment lessors to secure payment for labor and materials if certain legal requirements are met. Our attorneys have experience in identifying and addressing private and public works act issues.
Construction Contracts
Clarity and precision are essential when drafting contract language, because it helps limit later uncertainty and misunderstanding among the parties that could potentially lead to costly litigation. Our attorneys prepare and review all manners of agreements in the construction industry, including unit price, lump sum, cost plus, incentive, percentage of construction, and other contracts between property owners and general contractors. Our firm also has experience in drafting subcontractor, construction management, project management, engineering, property development, and supplier agreements.
Business Entity Formation
Our firm advises new business owners on the legal, financial, and contractual issues related to starting a business. One of the most important choices you will make is the type of legal structure to select for your company. We guide our clients in choosing the appropriate legal structure of their new company, which can include corporations (S-Corporation or C-Corporation), partnerships (general or limited), and limited liability companies (LLCs). We then complete the documents and filings necessary to adequately form and organize the new business entity.
Business Governance Agreements
Once your business entity is formed, our firm will prepare ownership and management agreements that set forth rules and regulations for the internal governance and management of your company, such as shareholder agreements, bylaws, operating agreements, and management agreements. These types of agreements are important to every business and help avoid future litigation between you and your co-owners. Our firm also reviews, updates, and revises existing management agreements.
