Business and Commercial Law

Nashville Business Formation and Contract Lawyer

At the law office of Thomas Jefferson Drake, I founded my law firm in 1988 with a wealth of background in the world of business. Previous to becoming a business and commercial law lawyer, I worked in sales, warehouses, and as on-air news radio personality. As a business attorney with much in common with both workers and business owners, I provide my clients with seasoned business and commercial law advice on business formations, partnership disputes, and business contracts.

Business Formations
As a business formation lawyer, I inform my clients initial steps into their marketplace with the corporate formation advice they require regarding establishing themselves as a limited liability company, or LLC. As your business attorney, I will protect your personal and professional liability, and help bolster your company's bottom line. Contact us to learn more.

Partnerships and Partnership Disputes
When considering the formation of a business partnership, I urge you to consult with a business attorney to allow for careful contemplation of all aspects of tying your personal and professional liability with that of a partner. I have helped my clients settle partnership disputes that may have been avoided altogether with better business planning on the front end. If you and a business partner become embroiled in a partnership dispute, I will represent your interests with compassionate counsel and aggressive litigation.

Business Contracts
Commercial enterprises are governed by business contracts of all sorts, and as a business attorney, I bring added value to my clients through my ability to draft, review, and negotiate business contracts. In doing so, my priorities are informed by your business objectives and my in depth knowledge of business law. I provide my business and commercial law clients with experienced counsel on contract drafting and contract review, including construction contracts, partnership contracts, business sale contracts, property sale contracts, purchase contracts, and employment contract including non-compete contracts.

Contact  a business attorney who is familiar with the many types of businesses from having been involved with the formation and successful maintenance of many businesses. During my 19 years as a business and commercial law attorney, it has been my professional focus to help my clients make the right legal moves in propelling their companies forward in the marketplace backed by smart legal choices.

Because you have a business to run, I can meet with business and commercial law clients during evenings and weekends by appointment. Free initial consultations are available.
