CORPORATE STRUCTURING AND RESTRUCTURING
TEIL works with inbound companies to structure agreements for partnerships and scaling.
With consistent introduction of varying revenue streams and distribution channels, the opportunity for profit grows, as so does the complexity.
That’s where we come in.
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
Demystifying mergers is one of the things TEIL does best.
M&A is not just for publicly traded companies.
Companies of all sizes find occasion to acquire, or merge to expand, restructure, or even downsize. Talk to us today about how your company can sell, or acquire new assets while safely evaluating risk.
BUSINESS FRAUD
Business is a little like life. Much of the difficulties you encounter can be avoided with careful planning, and preparation - but some issues cannot be avoided. Protecting a brand or even a single design involves intellectual property, copyrights, trademarks, and patents. Don’t find yourself unprotected, arm yourself with legal expertise and get ahead of the curve.
DEFAMATION & IMAGE RIGHTS
Maintaining the integrity of your public image is an inseparable part of your business, whether you’re a creative individual or a small company. Protecting your privacy and your public image from slander and libel is only one side of the coin; negotiating sponsorships, public appearances, and endorsements is the other. TEIL advises on both, offering litigation and dispute resolution, defamation (pre and post publication), and other image protection mechanisms—all so you can amplify and control the way you want the world to see you.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Ideas, tangible or not, are the most important things to protect in today’s competitive creative market. With so many channels and instantly replenishing feeds to watch out for, tracing the ownership and originality of a design, brand name, or invention needs the laser-focused eye of a trained attorney. We’ll handle the search, application, and filing process of trademarks, copyrights, and patents. If your idea has been infringed upon, our litigation team will negotiate the best possible licensing and settlement agreements.
BUSINESS NEGOTIATION
The internet, software, and technology are so pervasive that we can’t remember having ever lived without them. They make our lives simpler, but behind the curtain are fluctuating challenges in protection and monetization—challenges that our firm stays two steps ahead of.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The startup and small business marketplace is still a new and fierce frontier that requires legal advice from attorneys who are deeply familiar with the ins and outs of new business. We offer a competitive advantage that can help you save money and make more of it in the long run. Our holistic approach is essential to any company looking to grow.
LITIGATION
Handling the difficult situations when things go wrong can be stressful . When that turns into a lawsuit, either you initiating or defending you need counsel. Our goal is to research the laws and statutes and make sure that our clients voice is heard and you win. Our trained litigation attorneys are equipped with the knowledge and personality to handle the toughest of litigation cases. We have represented clients internationally, arbitration, Illinois, DC, Michigan and in the federal Circuit.
LIABILITY & RISK
Whether you run a theater, recording studio, or an eCommerce website, all businesses need to minimize their legal liability and risk. Our lawyers will assess the structure of your operation, such as its physical or digital space, the types of products you sell, who your consumers are, what type of company you have filed under (LLC, Inc, etc.), and so on. From there, we will tailor the right risk plan, complete with permit applications, contract review, insurance policies, and more, so you can worry less about liabilities and concentrate on growing your business.
