What Happens to Employees When a Business Is Sold

Posted by COFFYLAW, LLC
in Blog
business purchase lawyer

Buyers spend most of their energy on financials, assets, and deal structure. But the people who show up every day and actually run the business? They're often an afterthought until something goes wrong. Our friends at Kravets Law Group regularly counsel buyers and sellers through the employee side of acquisitions. Getting this part wrong can cost you talent, create compliance problems, and introduce liability that didn't need to exist. The Deal Structure Changes Everything What happens to employees depends almost entirely on how the sale is structured. In an asset purchase, you're buying specific assets, not the company itself. Existing employment relationships don't...

The Visa Bulletin and How to Read It

Posted by COFFYLAW, LLC
in Blog
family immigration lawyer

The monthly Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State determines when certain green card applicants can move forward with their cases. For family-based applicants in preference categories, understanding priority dates is not optional. It is the difference between knowing where you stand and waiting without any clear picture of what comes next. The team at DP Legal Solutions works with families who have been in preference category backlogs for years, sometimes decades. One of the most consistent gaps we see is applicants who do not know how to read the bulletin or how to apply what it tells them...

Common Business Succession Planning Mistakes to Avoid

Posted by COFFYLAW, LLC
in Blog
business succession lawyer

Most business owners spend years building something they are proud of. But when it comes to planning what happens to that business after they step away, retire, or pass on, many put it off indefinitely. It feels distant. It feels complicated. And for a lot of owners, it simply does not feel urgent until it is. Our friends at Gudeman & Associates, P.C. discuss this often with their clients, and the pattern is familiar: business owners who worked with a business succession lawyer  early had smoother transitions, fewer disputes, and better financial outcomes than those who waited. The reality is that succession...

How Business Succession Planning Connects To Your Estate Plan

Posted by COFFYLAW, LLC

business succession lawyer

A lot of business owners have an estate plan. And a lot of business owners think about succession at some point. But treating these as two separate conversations is one of the most common planning mistakes we see. When your estate plan and your business succession plan aren't aligned, the gaps between them can create serious problems for your family, your partners, and everyone who depends on your business. Our friends at Hirani Law work through this with clients regularly, and what a business succession lawyer will tell you is that your business is likely your most significant asset, and any...

Patent Lawyer Shares Invention Protection Tips

Posted by COFFYLAW, LLC

patent lawyer Edison, NJ

Getting a patent can make or break everything you've worked for as an inventor. Attorney Emmanuel Coffy sat down on the Counsel and Commentary Podcast and talked about what inventors actually need to know when they're trying to protect their ideas. If you're developing new technology or products, what he shares is worth paying attention to. Common Mistakes Inventors Make I see this all the time. Inventors lose their patent rights before they even think about filing an application. Public disclosure kills more patent applications than almost anything else. You show your invention at a trade show, post about it online, or even...

8 Warning Signs You Need To Hire A Tax lawyer

Posted by COFFYLAW, LLC

tax lawyer

Most people handle routine tax filing with software or a CPA. You input your W-2, claim your deductions, and file by April 15th. Simple enough. But tax situations don't always stay simple. Business ownership, investment income, international transactions, and IRS disputes create scenarios where your CPA's expertise isn't enough. Our friends at Crepeau Mourges discuss how tax attorneys bring legal protections that accountants cannot provide, including attorney-client privilege and representation in court. A qualified tax lawyer becomes necessary when your tax situation crosses from financial planning into legal territory. Understanding When You Need Legal Representation The line between tax preparation and tax law...

Patent Licensing Choices And Their Value

licensing lawyer New Jersey

You've got a patent. Now comes the part that actually determines whether it's worth anything: how you license it.  The choice between exclusive and non-exclusive licensing isn't just paperwork. It shapes everything about your patent's value, from the royalties you'll collect to how much control you keep over your own invention. At COFFYLAW, we can help protect your patent's value and ensure you get the control and credit you deserve. What Exclusive Licensing Actually Means When you grant an exclusive license, you're giving one licensee the sole right to use your patented technology. Nobody else gets to touch it within whatever scope...

5 Key Requirements To Qualify For Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Posted by COFFYLAW, LLC
in Blog
Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer St. Louis, MO

Chapter 7 bankruptcy offers a fresh start by discharging most unsecured debts, but not everyone qualifies for this form of debt relief. Congress established eligibility requirements to prevent abuse of the bankruptcy system and direct higher-income filers toward Chapter 13 repayment plans. Understanding whether you meet these requirements helps you determine if Chapter 7 is a viable option for your financial situation. Our friends at Pioletti Pioletti & Nichols  note that Chapter 7 bankruptcies constitute the majority of consumer bankruptcy filings, providing relief to hundreds of thousands of Americans each year who cannot pay their debts. When you're considering bankruptcy relief,...

Attorneys Help You Protect Your Product

Posted by COFFYLAW, LLC
in Blog

You put real time, money, and energy into your idea. Seeing someone else profit from that work is the nightmare scenario. The role of a patent attorney is to help you avoid that, and to turn your product into real, enforceable protection instead of a vulnerable “good idea.” It is best to work with an attorney from the start of your journey, but you can reach out for legal guidance at any time during the process of creating your product. For small businesses and independent inventors, that protection is more than paperwork. It can be the difference between growing your company...
