Ann Arbor, Michigan Business Lawyers

At The Law Office of Paul A. Callam, PLC, we assist clients in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and other cities throughout southeastern Michigan in the following areas of business law:

Business Entity Selection

Formally establishing your business can be the realization of a lifelong dream. However, with that dream also comes legal realities. Our firm helps clients set up as sole proprietorships, limited liability corporations (LLCs), and partnerships among others.

Business Purchases / Buy-Sell Agreements

We assist business owners in negotiating contracts for the sale or purchase of a business, including franchises. We also help our clients in succession planning and/or contingency planning.

Non-Compete and Trade Secret Agreements

Clients who own and operate smaller firms with confidential information and sales lists need intellectual property protection. The attorneys at our firm assist in developing trade secret and non-compete agreements for their staff.

Contracts, Leases, Manuals, and Policies

Following the establishment of your business, you will need ongoing legal representation to oversee the development of policies, employee contracts, manuals, vendor contracts, and property leases. At the Law Offices of Attorney Paul A. Callam, PLC, we work to protect you against unnecessary litigation.

Contract Disputes and Breaches

Business disputes are inevitable. As such, our firm handles both commercial litigation and arbitration involving business contract disputes.

Insurance Coverage Issues / Bad Faith

We represent our business clients in insurance disputes and bad faith claims against their insurance company. If you paid a significant sum of money for a policy, you are entitled to the benefits of that policy.

Real Estate Transactions and Litigation

If you have purchased or sold residential or commercial property and discovered that the seller or buyer did not live up to his or her obligations, please contact us. We will assist you in negotiating or litigating disputes over title, boundaries, and failure to disclose defects, among others.

Construction Litigation

A significant part of our construction litigation practice includes liens and bond claims. Our lawyers represent developers, construction companies, subcontractors, and material suppliers in all payment and performance issues.

Zoning

You should not confront a local zoning board over a zoning dispute without legal representation. Contact our firm to represent you in zoning variance requests, zoning violation actions, and/or any alleged nuisance claim.
