Santa Cruz Business Law Attorney

Whether you are a Silicon Valley startup or a closely-held business that has been in a family for generations, the Santa Cruz law firm of Timothy J. Morgan, Attorney at Law, can provide you with expert and cost-effective legal services.

Our lawyers have substantial expertise in business organization, tax law, employment law, commercial real estate, financing, and intellectual property law. Our attorneys provide transactional services as well as strategic advice for almost any legal issue a business may encounter.

Our lawyers often help entrepreneurs form business entities such as a limited liability company (LLC), an S corporation, or a partnership. To help our clients make the best choice, we explore our clients' business goals, their potential liability and preferred tax treatment.

Once a business is up and running, our lawyers provide counsel on a broad range of legal issues that arise in day-to-day business operations, such as:

  • Drafting buy-sell agreements
  • Drafting and reviewing contracts
  • Protecting intellectual property rights, such as your trademark, trade secrets, etc.
  • Drafting and negotiating employment contracts
  • Commercial litigation

We serve in the capacity of in-house counsel for firms that are too small to have an attorney on staff. We also assist in-house counsel of medium-sized firms with specific transactions or litigation.

David Howell, who has recently begun working with Mr. Morgan, is a former in-house counsel for an electronics firm in San Jose. Mr. Howell handled internal legal matters as well as supervised the work of outside firms for major litigation and intellectual property matters.
