We believe that diligence is the key to the successful formation and operation of a business entity as well as to the prevention of litigation, particularly when there are several individuals involved.
Trust and communication between attorney and client is key because it is only when a corporate or business client is fully prepared and briefed that they are best suited to successfully obtain their objectives.
This is especially true if the client has limited budgetary resources to achieve its goals.

The attorneys at Peskin, Courchesne & Allen, P.C. can draft Articles of Incorporation and individualized By-laws. We will make sure that our clients’ interests are protected.

In the event that an officer or director does not act in your business’ best interest, we know the law concerning an officer or director’s fiduciary duties in Massachusetts. We will thoroughly investigate and research any claims against an officer or director. Our attorneys will pour over a corporation’s business records and accountings to determine if there has been any illegal activity. We will determine if discovery through depositions, interrogatories and document requests are necessary and we will guide our clients to respond to any discovery requests. If an expert witness is necessary our lawyers will work with our clients to find the best experts for each situation. When our investigation of a corporation is complete, we meet with our clients to discuss whether it would be in their best interest to settle the case outside of court or continue to trial. If we believe that a case is best suited for trial before a judge and jury, we will thoroughly prepare and zealously argue your case.
