Practice Areas

The Wiemerslage Law Offices legal services includes information technology (including software licensing) and intellectual property, environmental law, joint ventures / business formation, and estate planning.

For some clients, these areas are interrelated. Your business may have intellectual property, such as patents of inventions or brand names, that you could license to receive royalties.  If you are buying or selling commercial property, you will want to conduct due diligence, including an appropriate environmental site assessment. Estate planning both for your family and for business purposes are important. If you are married, have children or own a business, you likely need an estate plan. Joint ventures are valuable for two businesses to create a new venture that shares their technology. Business formation issues are important for liability, investment and management purposes, among others.  With more than 32 years of experience,  Wiemerslage Law Offices is able to address these four areas of law for you in a comprehensive manner.

Joint Ventures and Business Formation

Sometimes two businesses have complementary lines of business, and may find it advantageous to form a joint venture to carry out a new line of business, perhaps to share profits, reduce liability or to get new investors, without affecting the structure of their original businesses.  Negotiating the joint venture agreement is important for the success of the parent companies' new venture.

When a person or group decides to form a business, there are several choices to consider. Sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, C corporation and S corporation all have advantages and disadvantages.  Should your business be formed in the state of residence of the owners, or should it be formed in Delaware, Nevada or Wyoming? Will you be seeking funds only from your credit cards, family and friends, but also seek funding from angel investors or venture capital firms?  For example, the founders want to maintain control but also be attractive to investors.  This law office can assist in all of these areas.

Estate Planning
