Entity formation and contract drafting

We needed advice in chosing a company structure and with a subsequent drafting of an agreement with a supplier. Jeff was extremely helpful with his advice with regard to the company structure and how we might negotiate with a sole supplier. He communicates with clarity and has a warm personality.

Thorough consultation

I approached Jeff with questions about getting myself up in business. He provided a thorough consultation, asking me specific questions and offering ideas based on my answers. He is quite knowledgeable about small business and gave me information that makes me better informed than I was previously.

Good advice is what we needed, and what we got!

Jeff helped us translate real business needs into legal documents, without killing the deal. My partner and I were forming an LLC to open a new restaurant downtown. He sat us down and broke down the issues into plain english, without scaring us half to death in the process. We had a lot of quest...ions and concerns in developing our operating agreement. Jeff walked us through the whole process and brought up issues we hadn't even thought of. We were able to lean on Jeff's experience whenever we came across a situation that we didn't know how to handle. He made us feel comfortable by making sure each of us understood our rights and duties to each other, and took care of all the bureaucratic processes to form the LLC. In the end we got exactly what we needed. Jeff is our guy! Ed, Co-Founder Char Sue.

Patient and Professional for Business Needs

I have had the pleasure of working with Jeffrey Laner from consultation to incorporation. He took the time to understand my business goals and needs as well as explaining my different options in layman terms vs "legalese". I had such a great experience that I hired him to help set up my corporation. ...I continue to use him for legal matters (from consultation for projects to contract review) and heartily recommend him to anyone looking to start or grow your own business in addition to general contract reviews.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
