Los Angeles Business Transaction Attorneys
Legal Focus Areas
From entity formation to purchase and sale agreements, commercial contracts, and corporate compliance, we serve as practical deal counsel for businesses across Los Angeles and Southern California. Because our attorneys also litigate, we draft agreements with an eye toward how they hold up when tested.
Business Transaction Services:
The attorneys at the Darvish Firm offer a full range of business transaction services from advising on the terms of a proposed or existing agreement to creating complex agreements for purchase and sale of goods, businesses, services and Real Property. Our goal is to draft our clients’ agreements so there is no room for interpretation. It is the room for interpretation that allows for disputes to arise when parties later disagree over the terms which inevitably may lead to litigation. The parties then spend tens of thousands of dollars in attorneys fees to determine the meaning of the agreement. The attorneys at The Darvish Firm strive to close the gaps in interpretation and can assist you in drafting an agreement that reflects the parties’ intent while protecting your interests.We offer a wide range of business transaction services to our clients. Please keep in mind that this is only a partial list.

Los Angeles Business Transaction Attorneys — Frequently Asked Questions
Which entity should I form — LLC or corporation?
It depends on ownership, taxes, financing plans, and liability concerns. LLCs offer flexibility and simple management; corporations suit businesses raising capital or issuing equity to employees. We help you choose, form the entity correctly, and put the governing agreements in place.
What should every business contract include?
Clear scope and payment terms, termination rights, indemnity, dispute-resolution and attorney's-fee provisions, and — where appropriate — confidentiality. Our business contracts page covers our drafting and review services.
What is due diligence when buying a business?
Verifying what you are actually buying: financials, contracts, leases, licenses, employees, liabilities, and litigation exposure. Skipping diligence is the most expensive shortcut in deal-making — see our business purchase & sale page.
Can the firm act as ongoing outside counsel?
Yes. Many clients use us as their first call for contracts, employment questions, compliance, and disputes — big-firm capability with boutique responsiveness and cost discipline.
