Hollis Laidlaw & Simon advises clients on all aspects of corporate and business law, including the formation of business, professional and not-for-profit corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships, as well as the drafting of shareholder, member, partnership, and joint venture agreements. We also handle the sale and acquisition of businesses, and buy-outs of shareholders and members in close corporations and limited liability companies. In addition, we counsel on contract matters involving employment, management, contracting, and license agreements. Our clients span an array of industries, including start-ups and technology, real estate investment, insurance, finance, restaurants, specialty foods, fine art, and retail.

While the majority of our corporate clients are located throughout the State of New York, we are routinely engaged by businesses in other states and abroad who do business in the State of New York. Typical engagements include registering a foreign entity with the Department of State for authorization to conduct business in New York; enforcing a restrictive covenant against a former employee residing or working in New York; defending litigation in New York; and enforcing contracts against individuals and entities having a presence in the state.
