Connecticut Business Lawyers

Business Formation & Planning

Starting a business requires careful planning. The business attorneys at Eagan & Donohue have extensive experience helping entrepreneurs choose the proper legal structure for their business. During the initial consultation, we learn about your business goals and explain the benefits and limitations of C Corporations, S Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships, General Partnerships, 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organizations, and Sole Proprietorships. For most of these business entities, we offer a fixed-fee package.

After forming your business, we will advise and assist you with:

• Maintaining proper corporate formalities;
• Complying with applicable state and federal licensing requirements;
• Preparing and reviewing commercial real estate leases, shareholder agreements, employment contracts, non-compete agreements, and confidentiality agreements;
• Purchase, sale and succession planning; and
• Business dissolutions

Commercial Litigation

In addition to our business formation and planning experience, the attorneys at  Eagan & Donohue are proud to be a commercial litigation law firm that handles both plaintiff and defense cases from the initial consultation  to a jury verdict and any subsequent appeal. We handle cases in both state and federal court. This unique dual experience provides the attorneys at Eagan & Donohue with a strong grasp of the issues and needs facing both sides, and better prepares them to negotiate beneficial settlements and facilitate workouts. In the event settlement discussions are unsuccessful, we look forward to representing plaintiffs or defendants at trial.
