SunCrest Law / Business owners
From the first filing to the final handoff. We work with owners at every stage — setting it up, papering the agreements that hold it together, closing the deal, and standing up when someone makes things difficult — and we explain it in plain language so you can stay on the part you are actually good at.
Most owners call when something is already in front of them — a contract to sign, a partner who wants out, an offer on the table. Find the one that sounds like yours.
Choosing the right structure, registering the entity, and getting the early agreements in place before they are expensive to fix. The LLC filing is the easy part; what matters is who owns what, who decides what, and what happens if one of you leaves.
Partnerships rarely fail over the business. They fail over an exit nobody wrote down. We paper how decisions get made, how someone buys in or walks away, what happens on death or divorce, and what a departing owner's interest is worth.
Customer agreements, vendor terms, leases, service contracts, NDAs, and the form the other side swears is non-negotiable. We draft the ones you send out and review the ones you are handed, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to before you sign.
Diligence that looks at the things that actually kill deals — liabilities that travel with the entity, leases that do not assign, customer concentration, employees who leave with the goodwill. Then the purchase agreement, the financing conditions, and closing.
The final stretch of a sale is where small details carry large consequences. We help you understand the terms, anticipate what a buyer will ask for, clean up what diligence will surface, and keep the process on track through closing.
A customer who stopped paying, a partner threatening a complaint, a vendor in breach, a former employee who took your client list. Your first response often shapes what comes next. We lay out the options and the likely cost of each before you commit to one.
Offer letters, handbooks, and the classification question that quietly creates the largest unbudgeted liability most small companies carry. We also handle non-competes and confidentiality terms that hold up in Utah rather than ones copied from another state.
Privacy notices, consent, vendor terms, and a defensible answer for when a customer or an enterprise buyer asks what your AI tools do with their data. This is in-house work we do every week, scaled to a company your size.
If the thing in front of you is not on this list, call anyway. Sorting out what kind of problem it is — and whether it needs a lawyer at all — is part of the first conversation.
Formation, contract drafting, policies, and most document work carry a flat fee. You get the number in writing before anything starts, and it does not move because the work took longer than expected.
Deals and disputes run hourly, because nobody can honestly flat-fee a negotiation with a counterparty we have not met. You get an estimated range and a clear account of what would push it to the high end.
For owners who need steady access rather than one project, a monthly arrangement is usually cheaper than calling a firm each time something comes up.
Tell us what is in front of you. You will get an honest answer about whether you need an attorney at all, and whether this is the right firm for it.
You get the plan and the fee — flat where it fits, hourly where it does not — so you decide before anything starts.
Documents drafted, deals closed, disputes handled. You work directly with the attorney on your matter, start to finish.
An ownership interest is often the largest thing a family owns, and it is the asset most likely to be handled incorrectly — left out of the trust, titled in a way the operating agreement does not permit, or passed to heirs who cannot run it.
We do the estate planning side as well, so the succession terms in your company documents and the plan that disposes of your estate say the same thing. See the family practice.
For mid-market and public companies, the firm serves as ongoing outside general counsel on a monthly engagement, and runs fixed-price programs in AI governance, data privacy, incident response, international operations, anti-corruption, and records governance — on their own, inside that engagement, or as interim coverage while you hire.
The first conversation is free and there is no obligation. Bring the messy version; sorting out the shape of the problem is our job.
