At the Law Office of Roland P. Merkel, I have been helping businesses of all sizes with a variety of issues since 1982. I understand that a legal problem of any kind can greatly disrupt your business operations, so I am committed to providing my clients with prompt and knowledgeable guidance.

Over the course of my lengthy career in corporate law, I have learned that the secret to designing a solid contract is anticipating conflicts before they arise. I review your existing business contracts to ensure they are legal, accurate, transparent, and in your best interests.
If you plan to form a co-owned company, you must have a well-drafted buy-sell agreement. This document protects the remaining owners if a shareholder retires, becomes disabled or dies, divorces, or leaves.

I consider your situation, your industry, and your business goals before determining which of the following business entities is best suited for your company:
In addition to explaining the strengths and weaknesses of each business entity, I help you file the required paperwork with the Commonwealth of Kentucky so you can begin operating your new business on a firm foundation as quickly as possible.
With extensive experience helping doctors and dentists negotiate professional contracts, I recognize the unique challenges that exist in the hyper-regulated field of healthcare law. I take the time to review your contract, identify issues, and explain the law clearly and concisely.
