Wheeler Upham, PC

Description

As a firm, we are big enough to bring together a team of lawyers with many diverse skills, yet small enough to provide you with the personalized attention your unique concerns deserve. We offer the benefits of a larger law firm at a more affordable cost. That's why our clients range from individuals to small businesses to Fortune 500 companies.

Wheeler Upham has been providing effective, efficient legal counsel for over 130 years. Our attorneys have backgrounds and expertise in virtually every area of the law, enabling us to continue a strong tradition of providing our clients the advantages of a full-service law firm at a reasonable cost. Whether you need a nationally recognized trial attorney, want help with estate planning, or are ready to form a limited liability company for that start-up you've been dreaming about, contact Wheeler Upham today. We'll have the solution to your legal needs.

If you are thinking of starting a new business, or if you want to take your existing business to the next level, a Wheeler Upham business attorney will help you. We’ll explain the differences among a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a corporation, and a limited liability company, and we’ll put together with you the business entity you choose. Once you’ve set up your business, we’ll help you comply with all the necessary legal requirements--government regulations and filings, taxes, securities laws, employment laws, employee benefits--as well as providing you with assistance for buying or leasing real estate, obtaining financing, preparing buy-sell agreements among the business owners, and all the other events in the life of a closely held business. If you are buying or selling a business, or if you have a family business and you need a business succession plan to transfer operations or ownership to the next generation, you will find someone at Wheeler Upham to help you. Wheeler Upham’s business attorneys have served as general counsel to businesses both large and small.

Our firm’s practitioners in this area of law draw upon their specialized legal skills and technology experience to address the needs of our diverse group of clients. We provide counsel to new entities created just to do business online, to decades-old enterprises looking to protect confidential information, to businesses and individuals who need advice on fair and legal use of information they’ve obtained, and to creative professionals who are concerned that the fruits of their labors have been unfairly and illegally taken and used.

Wheeler Upham provides the counsel, advice, and litigation support all employers need. Perhaps no other area of the law is more difficult for a business to navigate or exposes it to greater unexpected litigation risk. Wheeler Upham's litigation experience in the areas of employment discrimination, Family and Medical Leave Act, disability accommodation, and unemployment claims enables the firm to provide efficient and cost effective counsel and litigation support to employers. We also help with non-litigation support services, such as drafting employee handbooks, non-discrimination policies, noncompete agreements, affirmative action plans, personnel contracts, reasonable accommodation processes, and employee buyout agreements.
