Business Law Launch


  King & King, PLC is proud to announce the launch of its Business Law and Commercial Litigation Division. Our Mission is to establish a division of King & King, PLC, geared toward the needs of small to mid-sized businesses and to act as a general counsel at a reasonable cost to the client. 

  As a small business ourselves, we are familiar with the day-to-day obstacles small to mid-sized businesses face. Many of these obstacles are legal in nature and require a professional's advice - often a quick response is needed. King & King sets a new standard in the legal community of West Tennessee in the areas of client communication and accessibility through the use of technology. When you have questions, we will be there to get you the information you need to form a sound business decision. 

  King & King is constantly establishing new relationships with other businesses, thus establishing a network to assist small to mid-sized businesses, from business coaching, marketing, accounting and beyond. We want to see your business thrive and hope to be a resource for your business beyond your legal issues. 

  The Business Law and Commercial Litigation Division of King & King will provide general counsel services to the small to mid-sized businesses in West Tennessee at an affordable rate to the client. By establishing a regular monthly fee as opposed to an hourly rate for work as a general counsel, small businesses can discuss legal issues with its attorney and avoid legal pitfalls before they occur. 

  In addition, King & King will handle business formations, transactional work such as contracts, partnership agreements, buy-sell agreements, non-compete agreements, etc., at flat fee rates so that small to mid-sized businesses can better budget for legal issues. In the event unforeseen legal problems arise, King & King will be there to counsel and advocate for the businesses at a reasonable hourly rate. 

Here is a more specific description of the services we provide: 

Business Formation: 
King & King will assist new business owners in determining the type of business entity is the best fit for them and prepare the necessary documents to establish the new entity. Furthermore, King & King will advise and assist new businesses regarding the requirements for the new entity, such as annual meetings, annual filings with the State, etc. 

Drafting and Reviewing Contracts and Agreements: 
We will review existing agreements, contracts and invoices and prepare similar documents to put the client in the best position possible, including verification of such contractual elements as attorney fee and collection costs and interest on unpaid balances provisions. In addition, when a client enters into an agreement with another business, we will review any agreements presented to the client and work with the other business or its legal representative to draft a mutually agreeable contract. 

Litigation: 
Conflict is a reality of business. In the event clients find themselves in a legal battle, despite the best efforts to avoid such, King & King can provide top notch legal representation in and out of the courtroom. 

Alternative Dispute Resolution: 
As a Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 Family/Civil Mediator, Dusty King is conversant with the ADR process and can advise clients, not only if they are participating in the process, but on whether clients should include ADR provisions in their own work environment. 

Collections: 
Using alliances formed with collection agencies, King & King can provide collections services for those business clients who deal with accounts receivables. In the event litigation is not warranted, King & King will assist clients to determine the best direction to pursue the monies owed and, if justified, help them to choose an appropriate collection agency. If the softer approach is unsuccessful, then King & King is here to litigate and exercise the client’s post judgment legal rights to collect those monies owed it. In the event a customer files bankruptcy, King & King can advise our clients accordingly and take the steps to protect their interests. 

General Counsel Services: 
The best legal advice is the advice given before a business makes a move rather than after a problem arises. King & King will be available to discuss the client’s legal issues and take any steps possible to eliminate a problem before it starts. We will conduct any legal research necessary and thoroughly investigate a situation to assist the client in making the best decision for the client based upon the circumstances. 


Whether you have been in business for years or are just starting out, King & King, PLC can help.
