BUILDING LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIPS

with entrepreneurs and business owners.

Our business attorneys at Doherty, Dugan, Cannon, Raymond & Weil, P.C. enjoy building long-lasting relationships with entrepreneurs and business owners. We help people form businesses, including corporations and limited liability companies, and work with our clients to help them grow and prosper, sometimes over generations.

Whether working with a big business or a family-owned restaurant, our attorneys get to know our clients to understand their goals. Our team can assist from the beginning: in the formation of the business, preparing organizational documents and obtaining start-up financing.

Representing businesses from technology, retail, restaurants, manufacturing, professionals and real estate development, our attorneys become a valuable part of the management team and can advise on issues that come up daily, including employment issues, partnerships, contracts, financing, litigation and conflict resolution.

“It’s getting to know your clients, understanding what the issues are and solving the problem,” says Attorney Michael P. Doherty, a past chairman of the United Chamber of Commerce Council of Business and Industry. “I have represented some of my clients for 20 or more years. I relish getting to know my clients, understanding their long-term goals and helping them achieve those goals.

“It’s rewarding to help people start new businesses, get them up off the ground, and to give them advice as to how to prosper.”

Our experienced team not only learns about our clients’ business, but the industry the business is in as well. The combined knowledge allows our team to quickly advise, act and resolve any issues that may arise.
