Business Law Frequently Asked Questions

At John Saylor Law, we understand that navigating a personal injury case can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive from clients in North Alabama. If you need more personalized answers, don’t hesitate to contact us for a free consultation.
How can you help me choose the right business structure?

Choosing the right business entity—such as an LLC, S-corporation, C-corporation, or sole proprietorship—affects your liability, taxes, and legal obligations. I assess your business goals, risk factors, and financial situation to recommend the best structure that minimizes liability and maximizes tax advantages under Alabama and federal law.

Do I need a lawyer to draft or review contracts?

Yes, having an experienced business attorney review your contracts is essential. Poorly drafted agreements can lead to costly legal disputes. I help draft, review, and negotiate contracts, including partnership agreements, vendor contracts, employee agreements, and client service contracts, ensuring they are legally sound and protect your business interests.

Can you help with employment law matters?

Absolutely. Whether you need assistance with employee contracts, non-compete agreements, workplace policies, or compliance with state and federal labor laws, I provide comprehensive legal support. I also help businesses handle wrongful termination claims, workplace disputes, and EEOC compliance to prevent costly legal challenges.

What should I do if my business is being sued?

If your business is facing a lawsuit, it is crucial to act quickly. I provide legal defense strategies for breach of contract cases, employment disputes, intellectual property claims, and other business-related lawsuits. I work to resolve issues through negotiations or litigation to protect your company’s reputation and financial stability.

Do you handle business purchases and mergers?

Yes, I assist with business acquisitions, mergers, and sales. I conduct due diligence, draft purchase agreements, negotiate terms, and ensure compliance with Alabama business laws. Whether you’re buying an existing business or merging with another company, I help streamline the process and mitigate legal risks.

How can I protect my business’s intellectual property?

Intellectual property (IP) is one of your most valuable assets. I assist with trademark registration, copyright protection, trade secret policies, and patent-related legal matters. Protecting your business name, logo, brand identity, and proprietary information ensures competitors cannot misuse your intellectual property.

What legal requirements do I need to follow when dissolving my business?

Dissolving a business involves more than just closing your doors. I help ensure you properly file dissolution paperwork, notify creditors, distribute assets, and settle outstanding debts. Following Alabama state laws and federal regulations prevents potential legal and financial consequences after business closure.

Can you help with business compliance and regulatory issues?

Yes. Many businesses in North Alabama must adhere to local, state, and federal regulations, industry standards, and tax laws. I help businesses maintain compliance with Alabama Secretary of State filings, licensing requirements, OSHA regulations, and employment laws to avoid penalties and lawsuits.

How can I schedule a consultation with you?

You can schedule a consultation by calling my office or filling out the contact form on my website. Whether you need legal advice for business formation, contracts, disputes, or compliance, I provide personalized legal guidance to help North Alabama businesses operate smoothly and legally.
