Rosedale Law Firm

Business Law

Establishing and managing a business involves a myriad of legal decisions that can significantly impact your success. At my firm, I understand these challenges and offer comprehensive services to guide you through every stage of your business journey—from formation to operation and eventually winding down if necessary.


Business Formation

Choosing the right legal structure for your business is crucial. Whether you're considering an LLC, a corporation, a partnership, or another entity, I provide expert advice to help you select the most appropriate form. I assist with drafting and filing articles of incorporation/organization and creating Operating or Partnership Agreements tailored to your needs. My goal is to ensure that your business starts on a solid legal foundation so you avoid common pitfalls that can arise from improper setup.


Business Purchase/Sale

Buying or selling a business involves significant legal considerations. I provide expert guidance throughout the process, from conducting due diligence to drafting and negotiating Asset Purchase Agreements, Stock Purchase Agreements, and Non-Compete Agreements. Whether you're a buyer or seller, I ensure the transaction is legally sound, minimizing risks and protecting your interests.


Business Operation

Running a business smoothly requires ongoing legal oversight. I offer support in fulfilling governance obligations, negotiating contracts, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws. My experience in drafting and negotiating asset purchase agreements, stock purchase agreements, and promissory notes as well as securing collateral provides you with the tools to manage your business confidently. Additionally, I simplify complex legal documents like consulting and independent contractor agreements and real estate and equipment leases, making them easy to understand and implement.


Winding Down a Business

Closing a business is a significant decision that requires careful legal handling. I assist in drafting dissolution documents, settling outstanding obligations, and ensuring that the winding down process is conducted legally and efficiently. My approach minimizes risks and maximizes the protection of your interests during this transition.



With a focus on the Saint Louis Metropolitan area, including Saint Louis City, Saint Louis County, Saint Charles County, and Jefferson County, I am here to provide the legal expertise your business needs at every stage.

Robert spoke on the phone with me and was able to point me in the right direction - even though it wasn't with his firm. I really appreciate an attorney who is honest that they can't help - it's a sign of someone I can trust. I will make him my first call if I have other Missouri business questions.
