Business Legal Services

Our lead business transactions attorney, Chris Popov, has been providing knowledgeable legal guidance to clients since 1979. Together with our team of business transaction attorneys, he has represented numerous small, medium and large businesses with a variety of legal needs, including:

The Essence of Business is Rooted in Transactions

The foundation of business is the transaction.  The transactions between companies, between suppliers and their clients, between an employer and their employees and between a company and their customers.  The completion of successful business transactions is rooted in the successful structure of the contracts which govern them.  The Watkins Firm has served San Diego and Southern California for almost four decades.  We can tell you without a doubt, the primary key to ensuring business success lies in the structure of the company’s transactions and the contracts associated with them.

San Diego Business Transaction Lawyer AttorneyThe Watkins Firm has developed a comprehensive library of proven, successful contracts for almost any given business purpose.  These contracts are regularly updated based upon changes to federal, state and local laws and regulations.  We save our clients time and money by carefully crafting contracts which are specifically tailored to their unique applications.  Our contracts are designed to capture the entire agreement between the parties, the specific deliverables of each party and the “benefit of the bargain” anticipated by the contract or relationship.  A strong contract should not only capture the essence of the transaction, but anticipate any issue which might arise and provide a road map for the parties to work through the transaction to a successful conclusion.

When transactions are based upon downloaded forms, or a contract from a previous situation which is “modified” to work there are too many ambiguities and too much room for dispute.  California has some of the most sophisticated, complex and constantly changing laws and regulatory compliance issues in the country.  Our goal is to facilitate successful transactions for our clients while reducing or eliminating challenges which might otherwise interrupt the transaction or result in a dispute between the parties.

Business Dispute Services

When a business dispute threatens to reduce your bottom line, affect your business’s reputation or even cause business dissolution, we can help you find better solutions. Led by veteran trial lawyer Daniel Watkins, our business dispute team provides guidance and representation for businesses facing any form of business dispute, including:

In many cases, a costly and public court battle is not the right option. We often recommend alternative dispute resolution options to our business clients, including business arbitration, early neutral evaluation and mediation.  Business law isn’t simply about legal issues, its about providing advice that is best for your business.
