Practice Area
Business Law
Practical legal work for South Carolina small businesses, from the day you form the company to the contracts you sign every year after.
Most small-business legal problems are cheaper to prevent than to fix. A partnership with no written agreement. A lease signed without reading the assignment clause. A contractor treated as an employee. Each of these is routine to sort out in advance and expensive to unwind later.
Bernstein Law Firm works with owners of closely held South Carolina businesses: forming the entity, papering the agreements between the people involved, and reviewing the contracts that come across the desk. The goal is to keep you out of litigation, not to generate it.
You will work directly with the attorney. For an owner who needs an answer this week rather than a memo next month, that is usually the difference that matters.
