Welcome to the Law Office of David B. Willis

I focus my practice on small to mid-sized companies and the individuals that own them. When you retain me as your attorney you can remain confident that I am the attorney working on your case. The work is not being passed off to some associate or another attorney you have never met.

My number one goal as an attorney is to provide flexible and dependable value in helping my clients solve their legal problems. An attorney should do everything he or she can to make solving those problems easy on the client. I am willing to take the extra step so my clients can rest easy knowing that I am ethically and aggressively solving any legal problems they may have.

In many circumstances, I will visit your office so that you can avoid the inconvenience of having to leave your business behind. This also gives me an opportunity to learn about your business in person so I can better serve your needs.

Business & Investor Planning

My business and investment planning services are tailored to meet your specific needs. My focus is evaluating the risks unique to your business or investment and advising you on the appropriate steps to minimize those risks.

Business Planning

Every business, from a small sole proprietor to a large multi-national corporation benefits from proper planning.  My business planning services focus on managing a business owner’s legal risks and tax obligations.

At a minimum, proper business planning focuses on the following areas:

  • Limiting Liability
  • Asset Protection
  • Organizational Structure
  • Operational Due Diligence
  • Intellectual Property protections

The breadth of planning required for you will depend upon the type of business you run and the risks involved in that endeavor.

 Investment Planning

An investor often has different concerns from an active business owner.  My business planning services for investors focus on managing an investor’s legal and non-legal risks as well as their tax obligations.

Some of the common issues addressed in proper investment planning:

  • Structuring the investment as debt or equity
  • Company re-structuring options to facilitate investment
  • Negotiating investment terms
  • Drafting investment documents
  • Due Diligence investigations of potential investment companies
  • Options to accommodate different classes of investors

Adequate planning plays a huge role in making sure you can enjoy your investment knowing you have limited the risks involved.
