Meet the Professionals

Kearney, McWilliams & Davis, PLLC, advises start-ups and well-established companies in all aspects of business entity creation and management, from formation and regulatory compliance to commercial transactions, negotiations, and contract drafting. We help clients understand and select suitable business entities to successfully reach their goals and plan for future challenges in operations, growth, and competition in the marketplace.

Our business lawyers counsel clients concerning the benefits and considerations of corporations, limited liability companies, series LLC’s, general partnerships, and joint ventures, including possible tax implications, operational and management issues, transferability, succession, and personal liability tolerance.

Kearney, McWilliams & Davis also drafts entity organizational documents and agreements to clarify the responsibilities, rights, and roles of all stakeholders in order to lay a foundation for the business and avoid future disputes. We also advise clients concerning exit strategies for disposition of their business and succession planning or passing the business to the next generation.

As your company grows, seeks investors, or participates in joint ventures and other collaborations, we can help negotiate and draft the necessary investment agreements, entity modifications and conversions, or other documents necessary to maintain the equity and decision-making control you’re looking for.

As your attorneys, we’re also looking to make sure the right protections and safeguards are in place in such agreements to make sure that, when such transactions are stressed or otherwise go bad, your company is able to quickly initiate and resolve the problem before it hurts the company or your other strategic partnerships and investment.

Good businesses do not focus on being sued. Rather, they focus on making good products and keeping their customers and employees happy. However, no business can eliminate the possibility of being hauled into litigation, whether as a plaintiff, defendant, or otherwise.

If the need arises, Kearney, McWilliams & Davis is ready. We regularly represent small and mid-sized businesses in court for an array of legal entanglements. Our business law attorneys also represent clients in alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration.

• Breach of contract disputes with consumers or suppliers
