Knowledgeable advice and aggressive litigation to protect your interests

Starting and maintaining a business requires more than a vision and determination. You need to understand the pertinent state, federal and local regulations and know how to resolve inevitable disputes. But rather than let gaps in your legal knowledge deter you, or expose you and your company to liability, you can rely on a San Diego business lawyer at the Law Office of Edward W. Freedman. For more than 15 years, I have helped entrepreneurs get started, businesses overcome impediments, and companies resolve conflicts in San Diego and throughout Southern California.

Personalized guidance for operations and transactions

  • Formation — I provide guidance on every facet of business formation, including choice of entity, ownership and partnership agreements, shareholder agreements, tax planning, land use and zoning, and permitting.
  • Operations — My advice helps you maintain compliance in such important areas as employment law, environmental law, and annual reporting.
  • Growth — I facilitate your company’s growth through taxation planning, mergers and acquisitions, real estate acquisitions, and franchising.
  • Winding down operations — If it’s time to transfer ownership of your business, I can help with a succession plan, business sale, or dissolution.

Before you make a significant transaction, consult me for sound advice focused on your business goals.
