built around helping clients structure, negotiate, document, and close important business deals with clarity and confidence. Rather than focusing on litigation, the practice centers on business law, contract law, corporate transactions, and commercial real estate matters that help companies start, grow, buy, sell, lease, borrow, and invest.
A core area of the practice is LLC formation and business entity formation. This includes forming New Jersey LLCs, New York LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and other business entities, along with preparing the key internal documents that protect owners from future disputes. Services include operating agreements, shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, buy-sell agreements, ownership structuring, registered agent considerations, EIN and state registration guidance, and legal planning for startups and small businesses. The goal is not just to “file the entity,” but to create a solid legal foundation that supports long-term business growth and reduces risk.
The firm also handles contract drafting, contract review, and contract negotiation for a wide range of business relationships. Strong contracts are critical for protecting revenue, ownership rights, payment terms, non-compete and confidentiality provisions, liability limitations, default remedies, and exit rights. Representative matters include service agreements, independent contractor agreements, employment agreements, vendor contracts, client contracts, operating agreements, loan documents, guaranties, letters of intent, purchase agreements, and other commercial contracts. Whether a client needs a custom agreement drafted from scratch or wants counsel reviewing a contract before signing, the focus is on practical protection and business-minded problem solving.
Another major focus is commercial real estate law. Law Offices of John M. Shari, Esq. assists with commercial real estate purchases and sales, commercial leasing, lease review and negotiation, landlord-tenant business matters, due diligence, title and closing issues, financing documents, and related transactional work. Business owners and investors often need counsel who understands both the legal and economic sides of a deal, especially when a lease or property acquisition can materially affect the success of a business. The firm works to identify hidden risks, negotiate favorable terms, and keep transactions moving toward closing.
The practice also regularly assists clients with buying a business and selling a business. Business acquisition and business sale transactions require careful review of deal structure, asset purchase agreements, membership interest or stock purchase agreements, due diligence, representations and warranties, non-compete terms, financing arrangements, closing conditions, and post-closing protections. From small business purchases to more complex transactional matters, the firm helps clients understand the legal implications of each stage of the deal.
Clients seeking a Hoboken business lawyer, New Jersey business attorney, New York business lawyer, contract lawyer, LLC formation attorney, commercial real estate attorney, or lawyer for buying or selling a business will find a practice dedicated to responsive service, detailed drafting, and practical transactional counsel tailored to real business objectives.
