Specialized Legal Expertise Serves Our Business Community

Optimizing business ins, outs and opportunities

Doing things right at the outset can save time and money down the road. This truism is especially relevant in business. Working with an attorney to ensure a business is on the right track, in compliance and negotiating with protection in mind is why working with an attorney is so beneficial. It is also why In Business Magazine has compiled this Legal Guide to showcase local firms who strongly support the business community and offer their specialized practice areas, to help business owners make decisions on what firm to use locally.

There are many ways a business could get off on the wrong foot without proper advice. A common problem, alluded to in many of the monthly “Legal” articles in In Business Magazine, is businesses taking a DIY approach thinking it will save them money. This often backfires, making things more complicated — and, thus, more costly — when they later do get an attorney involved.

It’s not just a matter of knowing how to deal with certain matters; there may be requirements or implications of which the business owner is unaware. As the saying goes, “Most new business owners don’t know what they don’t know.”

For instance, perhaps a business has been approached by another regarding a transaction. The owner may try to reach agreement on the business terms before getting an attorney involved, and then just ask the attorney to write it up. Law relies heavily on precedent, and there may be implications

and ramifications to certain terms the business owner may be unaware of — this on top of the potential for missed opportunities for the business.

When exiting a business, as well, there are many factors to be considered that an owner may not have dealt with. These include tax ramifications, transfer of intellectual property rights, and how to structure proceeds to be most beneficial for future income. And there may be regulatory requirements such as getting permission from the Federal Trade Commission if the sale exceeds a certain threshold; if the company is in breach or violation of that law, the transaction could be revoked — or fines and penalties could be assessed.

It should be emphasized that, while law does rely heavily on precedent, change does occur — through new regulations, new court decisions and even through public outcry. That’s where knowledgeable representation can make a big difference.

What an attorney brings to businesses, then, is a view to avoid both pitfalls and missed opportunity. This In Business Magazine 2023 Legal Guide has been created to help businesses connect with the appropriate resources for their needs and to be a reference should a specific expertise be needed.

About This Section

HOW TO CHOOSE A LAWYER

• The State Bar Association of Arizona’s website offers these valuable tips:

• Get recommendations from friends and family members who have had positive experiences with lawyers.

• Search for lawyers by practice area or location at the State Bar’s online Find a Lawyer feature on its homepage.

• Visit the lawyer’s website; see if they will answer some basic questions before you commit to meeting with them. Ask about their experience in handling your particular issues, and their availability to take client phone calls and respond to emails. Some lawyers insist that clients make appointments and will not answer client calls and emails. You will want someone who is accessible when you need them.

• Consult a list of Certified Legal Specialists. The State Bar can provide a list of specialists in the areas of Bankruptcy, Criminal, Estate and Trust, Family Law, Injury and Wrongful Death, Real Estate, Tax and Workers’ Compensation. There are also lawyer referral services, which, for a small fee, will help in finding a lawyer.

Wilenchik & Bartness

The law firm of Wilenchik & Bartness provides high-level litigation services to a select group of clients. With its many highly skilled attorneys and paralegals, the firm also provides commercial arbitration and mediation services and works closely with businesses to manage their legal needs. It has represented many high-profile individuals in the state and county, including county attorneys, judges, a senator’s son, the state treasurer, the secretary of state, and former and current attorneys general.

The firm was founded in 1991 by Dennis I. Wilenchik, who left a senior partnership at the international firm of Squire Patton Boggs to form a smaller, more personalized practice while retaining a big-firm quality of practice. Still in active practice with his son, Jack — who was selected a “super lawyer” in business litigation this year by Thomson Reuters — he was recently named Best Trial Lawyer in the Valley for the fourth straight year by Foothills Magazine, and one of the Top 100 business lawyers in Arizona by a Business Magazine.

Dennis Wilenchik is rated Martindale-Hubbell AV®-Preeminent™, the highest rating available under the Martindale-Hubbell rating system, and he is listed in the national Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. Wilenchik has been a nationally certified civil trial advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy for more than 15 years. He is an Arizona Bar Foundation Fellow and was elected a Fellow to the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys. Wilenchik has served as a civil judge pro tem of the Superior Court; president of Maricopa County Bar Association Young Lawyers Division; board member of the Arizona Bar Journal; chairman and secretary of the Civil Trial Practice Committee; member of the Superior Court Civil Study Committee of the State Bar; and member of the Department of Real Estate Advisory Board, appointed by the governor.
