Business/Corporate Law
A listing of Wix, Wenger & Weidner’s business and corporate clients ranges from
sole proprietorships to Fortune 500 companies. We regularly advise clients in the formation
of new business entities, including whether that business should operate as a proprietorship, partnership, corporation or limited liability company, and advise on the tax,
business and legal ramifications of each choice of business entity. In connection with the
creation of a business, we draft our clients’ partnership, shareholder, and other internal
operating agreements. We also maintain and update corporate filings and records so that
our clients maintain their identities and legal status under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
Our clients regularly seek our advice and representation in the general operations of
their businesses. We are able to advise and represent our clients in issues that affect their
businesses, including taxation, governmental regulations, contract negotiations, drafting
and interpretations, and other issues that confront our clients on a daily basis.
We also have represented individuals and businesses in mergers and acquisitions.
Working with our clients’ accountants and other professionals, we advise our clients on the
financing, structuring and implementation of mergers as well as asset and equity (i.e.,
stock) acquisitions.
Our attorneys also assist our clients in their employment law matters. Every
employer must be fully cognizant of personnel law when making the decisions to hire,
discipline and terminate employees. We have drafted employment agreements for many
clients, reviewed and drafted employee handbooks, assisted clients in complying with state
and federal requirements, and represent employers before the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission on employment
discrimination claims. Federal and state regulations
are constantly changing, and our attorneys regularly advise business clients how to stay
current with the law. These areas of changing regulations include complying with the
Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act and other federal and state
laws.
The following attorneys practice in this area:
Dean A. Weidner
