STARTUP
SKELLYLAW helps entrepreneurs create legal entities, write formative documents (e.g. LLC Operating Agreements, Close Corporation Agreements, Corporate Articles and Bylaws), engage with investors, understand the regulatory environment, and take the first steps to realize their business vision while protecting assets and managing risk.
OPERATIONS
SKELLYLAW works with small and medium-sized businesses to establish appropriate governance, improve contracts, exit from contracts, assess and resolve disputes (including litigation), identify and manage risk, grow your workforce and generally solidify the legal foundation for operations.
GROWTH AND EXPANSION
SKELLYLAW helps small businesses grow. If you want to grow your business by buying another business or assets, or by fundraising, or by upgrading existing capabilities to scale, SKELLYLAW can support your growth.
EXIT
SKELLYLAW is prepared to help SMB owners when the time comes to exit the business. SKELLYLAW can help you design a succession plan if you want your family to take over the business. SKELLYLAW can also help you sell the business to a third party. SKELLYLAW can guide SMBs through an orderly windup of operations.
INSOLVENCY
No SMB owner wants to experience insolvency from any perspective. But insolvency issues can find you. SKELLYLAW can help you pursue your rights as a creditor if a supplier or customer files a bankruptcy case (or is in a non-bankruptcy proceeding like a receivership). SKELLYLAW can also help you assess insolvency options and execute an appropriate strategy if your business is struggling.
MANAGE YOUR LEGAL FUNCTION
SKELLYLAW is able to cover most issues that SMBs will encounter. But when the need arises to engage other counsel for specialized matters, SKELLYLAW helps you engage the right expert and can manage the relationship so that the work is done efficiently, correctly, and at less overall cost.
