Solid planning and binding agreements should be considered with the inception of a new business or even the business idea and the lawyers at Loftus & Eisenberg, Ltd. have extensive experience in doing just that, including the drafting of agreements to form a business, secure an idea, or end a relationship.

We understand the needs of businesses of all sizes, and the requirement that all transactions and contracts are handled and protected in the most efficient and effective way possible.

The firm puts its experience in litigating hundreds of business law disputes to work in order to ensure the success of each transaction and prevent disputes from starting in the first place when engaged in business planning and transactions. With such extensive experience negotiating and litigating these disputes, we can negotiate contracts aggressively for our clients and know what terms and verbiage really matters in any deal.
