Led by Joe Roach, an attorney with a distinguished career of more than 30 years of experience and a Super Lawyers recipient, RBL provides practical, solution-oriented legal services for businesses of all kinds. Take a look at our suite of common-sense legal services that make it easier for your business to grow, prosper, and stay compliant.
Outsourced General Counsel – Part of Your Business Team
At Roach Business Law we stand out through our Outsourced General Counsel offering. In the role of outside legal counsel, we join your management team to provide strategic advice and everyday legal support. You get the advantages of in-house counsel with a focus on business priorities, continuity, and immediate response but without the overhead. We help you manage legal risk, compliance, and outcomes at every step of your business life. We are diligent about responding to all client inquiries within 24 hours, so that you always have timely and grounded legal insight when you need it.
Entity Formation and Structuring
Establishing the correct legal structure serves as the cornerstone of your small business. Roach Business Law offers counsel to entrepreneurs and established businesses looking to select an entity type, form, and structure. We assist with corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and not-for-profit entities when forming these organizations.
An essential phase in entity formation involves documenting the agreement of founding members; we prepare and file organizational agreements or other corporate documents, and provide counsel regarding ownership, governance structures, and tax considerations for business entities during this early stage. Our mission is to help you establish solid legal ground – limiting risk, protecting your interests, and positioning your venture for future success.
Contract Review, Drafting and Negotiation
Contracts represent the foundation of every business relationship. With decades of experience, we help our clients draft, review, and negotiate contracts that protect your business and reduce the likelihood of disputes. Contract services include vendor contracts, customer relationships, employment agreements, non-disclosure and non-competition provisions, licensing legal arrangements, and much more. We emphasize clear and enforceable terms and practical solutions so you can do business with confidence.
Employment Law and General Transactional Support
Employees and day-to-day business transactions require legal guidance throughout the process. Roach Business Law provides business owners with employment law advice – from establishing employee handbooks and policies, guiding you through hiring and firing, complying with wage and hour regulations, and resolving workplace conflict.
Whatever your company needs for business transactions – whether it’s guidance on drafting leases, supplier contracts or operating agreements – we’re here to help. We help you prevent risk, comply with regulations, and keep your business operating smoothly.
Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures
When the time comes to buy, sell, or reorganize a business, you want experienced legal advice to protect your interests and maximize value. Joe Roach has guided clients through mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures in dozens of industries. We handle the entire process – due diligence, deal structuring, negotiating, documentation, closing, and post-closing filings. Our experience ensures that transactions are efficiently completed, risks are mitigated, and strategic goals are realized.
Commercial Lending And Financing
Access to capital is a vital part of any business. We provide expert legal advice for commercial lending and finance transactions, and credit facilities at Roach Business Law. We also represent both borrowers and creditors through drafting and advising on loan agreements, security instruments, and regulatory compliance issues. Our experience in commercial finance allows us to assist clients in negotiating advantageous terms, avoiding any pitfalls, and complying with government regulations throughout a transaction.
Bankruptcy, Workouts And Restructuring
Tough times need thoughtful, proven legal service. Our lawyers help businesses in financial trouble with practical bankruptcy counsel, nonbankruptcy workouts, and restructuring. Joe Roach helps you protect your interests while working toward the best possible outcome, whether through Chapter 11 reorganization, negotiations with creditors, or asset protection. We help you assess options, negotiate with creditors, and create a playbook for recovery, always with a pragmatic, business-minded approach.
Commercial Real Estate Transactions, Compliance and Control
Successful real estate deals require skilled legal guidance. Roach Business Law advises buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and developers in all areas of commercial real estate, such as purchases, sales, leasing, financing, and development. We also counsel our clients on zoning, permitting, and regulatory compliance at municipal, state, and federal levels. We want to help ensure your real estate transactions go smoothly, your investments are secure, and your projects are in compliance.
Risk Mitigation, Prevention and Litigation
Prevention is your best defense against expensive and disruptive legal battles. Roach Business Law guides its clients to identify and prevent legal risk through policy development, compliance programs, and staff training. If disputes do arise, we offer strategic litigation support to litigation counsel. With our preventive strategies in place, we work with you to streamline exposure so that you can concentrate on growing your business without worrying about liabilities.
