Are you looking for a small business lawyer? Gordon Law is here to protect your business at any stage with our comprehensive corporate law services.
Our skilled business attorneys are based in Chicago, serving clients across the country and the world.
With years of legal experience and business savvy, we help you keep more of what you earn.
Business formation is the first step to entrepreneurial success! Although registering your business is fairly straightforward, choosing the right type of entity and creating custom partnership agreements are not. These decisions affect your taxes, take home pay, future fundraising opportunities, and much more.

Ensuring your business follows marketing and advertising laws is critical. Any claims you make through marketing or advertising must be evidence-based and truthful—and a simple disclaimer isn’t always enough to protect you. In no way can your marketing be deceptive. If so, you may find yourself in need of defense against an FTC lawsuit.
Our advertising compliance review services ensure you’re covered!
Mergers and acquisitions come in many forms. You might be using your business to purchase a competitor’s assets, or maybe you’re combining two separate businesses into a single legal entity. Our business attorneys are highly experienced with private M&A deals of all shapes and sizes.
You need to be prepared for a wide array of tax requirements as a business. Luckily, the attorneys at Gordon Law are highly knowledgeable about tax law as well as corporate law.

Your business lawyer can help to ensure your individual and business assets are protected from potential creditors.
With our asset protection techniques, creditors will have limited access to your most valuable assets while you remain in compliance with state and federal laws.
If you find yourself dealing with a business dispute, having a business lawyer step in and handle the litigation matters could help give you the peace of mind you deserve.
