In today’s fast-moving economy, business success isn’t just about innovation and customer service—it’s also about staying legally protected. Business transactions in Arizona are governed by a complex framework of state, federal, and local laws. Without proper legal oversight, even a small mistake in a contract or compliance document can expose your business to significant risk. That’s where the Law Office of J. Marc Montijo comes in.

1. The Role of a Business Transactions Attorney

From day-to-day operations to milestone deals, a business lawyer plays a vital role. Services typically include:

• Contract drafting and review
• Purchase agreements
• Lease or vendor negotiations
• Partnership and operating agreements
• Independent contractor arrangements

Having an attorney review each detail ensures that every transaction aligns with your long-term business goals—and keeps you out of court.

2. Structuring Your Business from the Start

Choosing the right entity (LLC, corporation, sole proprietorship, etc.) impacts your tax structure, liability protection, and operational freedom. An attorney can help you:

• Select the right entity type
• File incorporation documents
• Create bylaws or operating agreements
• Establish governance and shareholder protocols

Getting it right from day one sets a foundation for secure, scalable growth.

3. Contracts: The Lifeblood of Any Business

Every successful transaction rests on a solid contract. At J. Marc Montijo’s office, we help Tucson businesses draft, negotiate, and enforce:

• Vendor and client contracts
• Non-compete and NDAs
• Employment and termination agreements
• Franchise and licensing documents

Ambiguity in a contract can cost you in court—ironclad language keeps things running smoothly.

4. Legal Policies that Protect Your Business

Beyond transactions, smart businesses implement internal policies that reduce liability and clarify expectations. These may include:

• Employment handbooks and training manuals
• Compliance and regulatory guidelines
• Trade secret and intellectual property protections
• Cybersecurity and data usage policies

Proactive policy development can help you prevent future disputes and demonstrate good faith in any legal audit.

5. Responsive Guidance as Your Business Evolves

As your business grows, so do your legal needs. Whether you’re acquiring another company, restructuring, or winding down, it’s critical to have counsel that evolves with you. Our firm provides ongoing advice to help you:

• Navigate mergers and acquisitions
• Adapt to changing regulations
• Manage shareholder or partner disputes
• Exit or restructure a business with minimal disruption
