Here at SVP Law Firm, we work with you through the process from the due diligence search all the way to your registration confirmation.
Business Incorporation
There are so many things that you need to take into consideration from the very beginning when it comes to creating a business. The way you structure your business will determine any liabilities you will have. Along with liability comes financial implications and other important state governance requirements. Let us here at SVP Law Firm walk you through the decision making process.
Copyright
A copyright protects original creative works like books, photographs, drawings, paintings, plays, etc. Copyright protection is limited to replicas of your work, not just the “idea or concept”. Copyright applications are filed with the Copyright Office and you will need to provide a copy of your work to the Copyright Office electronically or by mail showing the creative work you are registering. The copyright registration process takes approximately 6 months, but can take longer depending on the type of work you are registering.
Contract Drafting & Reviewing
Having the correct contracts in place protects your business in many ways. Not only will it help you avoid expensive lawsuits and protect you from liability, but it helps set expectations for your clients. Lawyer drafted contracts give you peace of mind knowing you can point to a clause in the contract when issues arise with clients. Contracts can help you resolve payment issues, protect your intellectual property, and keep you in compliance with website laws. If you are an entrepreneur or creative and you do not have solid contracts in place for your business, SVP Law Firm can create reliable contracts that will cover all of your legal needs.
