Numerous potential liabilities lurk out there in the business world, and being prepared to face those challenges can be the difference between your business thriving and growing, on the one hand, and bleeding out and going under, on the other. Small businesses that find themselves in a litigation situation might be surprised to learn that the legal fees alone can sometimes push into the six figure range!
Contracts are the binding documents we create to memorialize our legal relationships and to spell out the rights and obligations of the parties. We've all heard the old saying that "good fences make good neighbors." Well at Asheville Legal, we tell our clients that "good contracts make good business affiliates."
When a business grows to such a degree that large competitors take notice or that acquiring a competitor becomes feasible, then it may be time to think about pulling the trigger on a large-scale business deal. Whether selling or purchasing, businesses that are merging or undergoing massive asset transfers are particularly susceptible to legal problems.
Employment relationships are so common and so regular, it's easy for employers and employees, alike, to forget that there is a vast body of law that undergirds the modern workplace. From minimum wages, to overtime wages, to rules about commissions, and rules regarding health and safety and discrimination and retaliatory discharges, employment law is a vast field, and there are numerous regulations that employers are often completely unaware of.
Starting a new business is an exciting time for anyone, but it also marks your best opportunity to learn about the legal pitfalls of running your own business, and to tackle those pitfalls proactively. At Asheville Legal, we take your concerns about going into business very seriously, and work with you to create founding documents that will protect you and your partners in the long run.

Mike Wimer with Wimer and Associates has handled legal matters for me over the past decade. He is incredibly knowledgeable, ethical, reliable, and - most surprisingly in the legal field - a genuinely good person. I highly recommend him and his firm.

Outstanding legal counsel. Mike Wimer is a strategist that thinks outside of the box. He is not stuck in conventional ways of thinking or practice from what you typically find in attorneys. He is thorough and detail oriented. He will not leave you stranded or abandon your case in mid stream. With this attorney you have a winner.

Jake is very professional, he did a great job on my case of handling a complex insurance claim where the insurer was not responding in a timely fashion. We negotiated a settlement with the insurer and saved from going to expensive litigation. Jake was very fair and reasonable with his billing hours for the work he did and did what was best for us. We will use him again.
