Business Formation & Organization

​
If you are an aspiring business owner, or an already practicing sole proprietor, Jesson & Rains can advise you on the choice of entity best to offer liability protection, such as LLC, corporation, non-profit, partnership, LP, and LLP. Jesson & Rains will advise you on how to protect your interests and assist you with completing and executing the proper paperwork to make you aspirations a reality, like partnership or operating agreements and bylaws. We know what it is like to start a business because we did it when we formed Jesson & Rains, PLLC! 

Once the business is operational, Jesson & Rains can continue to provide counsel on an as-needed basis, drafting and reviewing contracts and providing legal services related to real estate, construction, employment law, and insurance. We also offer flat fee yearly packages for our business clients who want us to handle their annual business requirements, and those include a discounted rate on additional legal services.  We frequently draft or review independent contractor agreements, customer agreements, and leases.  We can help you business protect valuable intellectual property like trademarks, copyrights, and confidential information.

The lawyers at Jesson & Rains serve clients in Charlotte, Concord, and Gastonia, as well as other communities in Mecklenburg, Iredell, Union, Cabarrus, and Lincoln counties.

Business Torts & Commercial Litigation

​Business litigation, also called commercial litigation, is when a dispute arises between businesses, owners, or clients.  Jesson & Rains represents clients in cases involving:  ​
  • Breach of Contract
  • Business Torts
  • Fraud
  • Partnership Disputes
  • Shareholder Disputes
  • Loss of Business Opportunities
  • Breach of Fiduciary Duty
    • ​Insurance & Agent Broker Liability Defense
    • Directors & Officers Liability Defense
  • Construction Defects
  • Collections, including Construction Liens
  • Commercial landlord-tenant disputes
  • ​Insurance coverage disputes
  • Other employment disputes, including claims for unpaid wages, commissions, overtime, and vacation time, claims involving non-compete agreements, and discrimination suits.
Jesson & Rains also represents businesses who have to sue, or are being sued, for negligence. Having an injury occur on your property or being involved in an accident can be a stressful time and hiring a competent and experienced attorney is key. If you are being sued for negligence due to a slip & fall, automobile accident, boating accident, construction accident, manufacturing defect, dog bite, negligent security or any other type of personal injury action, give the attorneys at Jesson & Rains a call. Kelly has tried numerous cases as a personal injury defense attorney, and Edward has years of experience representing construction companies and negotiating with insurance companies. Businesses are often considered easy targets for fraudulent claims, and Jesson & Rains will diligently investigate all cases to expose questionable claims.  

We represent individuals in Charlotte, Concord, and Gastonia, as well as other communities in Mecklenburg, Iredell, Union, Cabarrus, and Lincoln counties.
