Las Vegas Business Transaction Lawyers
Success in business doesn’t just come from what you build; it comes from how well you protect it. Smart business owners know that a strong legal foundation today can prevent costly disputes, lawsuits, or regulatory headaches tomorrow.
At Larson & Zirzow, our Las Vegas business transaction lawyers help business owners in Las Vegas make clear, confident decisions. We draft and negotiate contracts, form business entities, document loans, structure employment relationships, offer registered agent services, and more, all with an eye on your unique goals and challenges.
Whether you’re launching a new venture, expanding operations, or protecting what you’ve already built, we’re here to ensure the details are done right.
Business Entity Formation — Getting It Right from Day One
The first major legal step for many entrepreneurs is choosing and forming the right business entity. Your choice can impact your liability, taxes, ownership structure, and how you raise capital or bring in partners.
We help clients form:
- Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) — Popular for small businesses and flexible ownership structures.
- Corporations (C-Corp and S-Corp) — Suitable for growing companies that may seek investors or plan for succession.
- Partnerships and Joint Ventures — For businesses with multiple owners working toward a shared goal.
We guide you through everything from filing articles of organization or incorporation to drafting operating agreements and bylaws that clarify how your business will run and how disputes will be resolved if they arise.
Getting the structure right from the start can save you from surprises later.
Contracts — The Backbone of Every Business
Every business runs on agreements with customers, suppliers, landlords, partners, and employees. But not all contracts are created equal. A handshake deal or a vague online template can cost far more than it saves when a dispute arises.
Larson & Zirzow helps business owners draft, review, and negotiate contracts that stand up to scrutiny and protect your interests. Our experience includes:
- Vendor and supplier agreements
- Service contracts
- Sales and purchase agreements
- Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements
- Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
- Licensing agreements
We listen to your goals, translate them into clear, enforceable terms, and help you anticipate risks before they become problems. And if the other side pushes back, we stand by you at the negotiating table.
Employment Agreements — Clear Terms, Fewer Disputes
Bringing people into your business means more than just posting a job ad. A well-drafted employment agreement sets expectations, defines roles, and protects your company’s proprietary information and reputation.
We prepare employment contracts that address:
- Compensation and benefits
- Job duties and reporting structure
- Non-compete and non-solicitation terms
- Confidentiality and trade secret protection
- Termination and severance provisions
These agreements are especially important for key personnel and executives whose actions can have outsized impacts on your business. A clear agreement today can prevent costly disputes down the road or give you leverage if one arises.
Loan Documentation — Structuring Capital with Confidence
Sometimes your business needs an infusion of capital to expand, weather a rough patch, or seize a new opportunity. Whether you’re borrowing funds or lending them, clear loan documentation is critical.
We assist with:
- Promissory notes and loan agreements
- Security agreements and collateral filings
- Guarantees and personal guarantees
- Loan modifications and forbearance agreements
Our team also brings an edge that many transactional lawyers don’t: deep bankruptcy and creditor rights experience. We know how to structure loans with practical protections in place so that, if things ever go sideways, you’re in the strongest possible position to recover what you’re owed.
Las Vegas Registered Agent Services — Staying Compliant and Covered
Nevada law requires businesses to maintain a registered agent — someone authorized to receive legal documents, government notices, and service of process.
As a boutique firm that works closely with business owners in Las Vegas, we provide registered agent services as part of our ongoing client relationships. This means you don’t have to worry about missing important notices or falling out of good standing with the state.
More importantly, when Larson & Zirzow serves as your registered agent, you gain direct access to experienced attorneys who know your company and can jump in quickly if you ever face a legal issue.
Practical, Tailored Solutions — Not One-Size-Fits-All
We know there are countless online services and big law firms offering cheap or cookie-cutter transactional work. But your business deserves more than a fill-in-the-blank form.
At Larson & Zirzow, we take the time to understand your business, your goals, and your risk tolerance. We tailor every agreement and recommendation to your unique situation, whether you’re a one-person start-up or an established local company with employees and vendors depending on you.
We don’t churn out paperwork just for the sake of it. We craft agreements and structures that help you grow confidently and avoid problems later.
