Business

Doerner lawyers represent companies of all sizes in all business and corporate law matters. Our clients range from startups to publicly traded companies, and they have offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and other locations throughout the United States and around the world. We handle both transactional matters and disputes—and, in all cases, we focus on meeting our clients’ needs and helping them achieve their business goals as efficiently as possible.

What We Do

Regardless of the scope of your business’s needs, we can develop a custom-tailored solution. We prioritize building strong relationships with our clients so that we can help them make strategic decisions over time. By getting to know our clients’ businesses, we are able to provide proactive recommendations in many cases as well; and, when disputes arise, we are able to get to work protecting our clients’ reputations, relationships and assets immediately. Our services include:

Business Entity Selection and Formation

The type of entity you choose to form, and the jurisdiction in which you choose to form it, can have significant and long-term implications for your business. Our lawyers can help you make an informed decision based on your business goals, and then we can take all of the necessary steps to properly form your new business entity.

Corporate Governance

Effective corporate governance is critical for maintaining owners’ limited liability protection. It is also critical when seeking to court outside investors or potential buyers. Our lawyers can draft all of the documentation your business needs to establish (and remain in) good standing.

Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions

We have significant experience representing businesses during mergers and acquisitions. We represent both buyers and sellers; and, regardless of which side of the deal our client is on, we take the same comprehensive, detail-oriented and forward-thinking approach to protecting our client’s interests before and after closing.

Business and Corporate Dispute Resolution

We also have significant experience representing businesses and business owners in dispute resolution. Whether negotiating an informal resolution is in both parties’ best interests, the parties have agreed to pursue mediation or arbitration, or the best option is to go to court, our lawyers can begin working promptly to help you achieve a favorable resolution.

Other Business and Corporate Matters

Along with the matters listed above, we represent companies and their owners in a wide range of other business-related legal matters as well. From employment and labor law compliance to issuing securities, Doerner lawyers can assist regardless of your company’s specific legal needs.
