One Firm for Business and Personal Legal Matters
Business legal needs tend to follow a path: formation, contracts, growth, and sometimes disputes. At Baker Law Group, PLLC, the firm's business attorneys handle formation, contracts, and transactions, and its civil litigation attorneys handle disputes when they arise. Your business stays with one firm when a transaction turns into a dispute, without starting over with new counsel.
Personal Legal Matters for Business Owners and Their Families
Business and personal legal questions often overlap. An owner's estate plan affects who controls the company, a divorce can affect ownership interests, and commercial property may be held personally or through an entity. Baker Law Group, PLLC also handles the following personal legal matters in Colorado:
- Estate planning, probate, and trust administration
- Real estate transactions and disputes
- Family law, including divorces that involve business ownership
- Employment law for both employers and employees
- Criminal defense
How Matters Are Coordinated
Every new matter, business or personal, goes through the firm's intake process. An intake specialist asks specific questions about the matter, and an intake attorney reviews it to confirm it is viable and explains your options before you move forward. The matter is then assigned to an attorney in the practice area that handles it.
Who Remains Responsible for Your Matter
The attorney assigned to each matter is responsible for that matter and is your main point of contact for it. Most communication is directly with your assigned attorney, and a paralegal may help with scheduling and documents. The firm aims to answer questions the same business day or the next business day.
When You Need Separate Counsel
Sometimes one firm cannot represent everyone involved. If your business and an individual owner have opposing interests, such as in a dispute between co-owners or a divorce involving ownership of the company, professional conduct rules may require separate attorneys. The firm checks for conflicts before accepting each new matter and will tell you if separate counsel is needed.
Referrals and Co-Counsel
Baker Law Group, PLLC does not handle bankruptcy, civil rights, immigration, or personal injury matters. When a matter falls outside the firm's practice areas, the firm refers you to a referral partner attorney or works with its assigned co-counsel.
