Your business may change dramatically over the years. Your legal strategy should, too.

Whether you're opening your doors, growing your company, bringing on a partner, acquiring another business, or preparing for an eventual sale, having the right legal guidance can help you make smart decisions while avoiding costly legal pitfalls.

Our team works with business owners at every stage of the journey, from selecting the right business structure and drafting governing documents to negotiating contracts, forming partnerships, navigating acquisitions and divestitures, and planning for a successful business transition.

And because business decisions rarely involve just one area of expertise, we work collaboratively with your accountants, financial advisors, business partners and other professionals to make sure all the pieces fit together.

Big business decisions deserve more than a narrow legal perspective. They require an understanding of the big picture.

Painter & Associates is here to help you navigate what's next, with thoughtful guidance, attention to detail, and a clear understanding of your business goals.

A clean home inspection doesn't always mean a home is free of serious problems.

While inspections are an important part of the home-buying process, they can't uncover every hidden defect—especially when issues are concealed behind walls or stem from unpermitted or improperly completed construction.

In one recent case, our firm represented homeowners who purchased a property based largely on a newly constructed addition. The sellers represented that the addition was built by a contractor and complied with building codes and zoning requirements. After closing, the buyers discovered significant structural defects, code violations, and evidence that the work had not been completed as represented.

Unfortunately, many of these issues wouldn't have been visible during a typical home inspection.

If you've discovered hidden defects after purchasing a home and believe material facts may have been misrepresented, you may have legal options.
