Legal Support That Keeps Up With Your Business
Running a business means making legal decisions every day. Every contract you sign, every vendor you engage, every partnership you enter has legal consequences. The goal is not to avoid all risks. It is to understand the risks you are taking and make sure your legal foundation supports your business goals.
At Malkin Law, P.A., we work with businesses across stages, from startups structuring their first vendor agreements to established companies managing complex commercial relationships at scale.
Our Commercial Services
- Contract drafting and negotiation: MSAs, vendor agreements, distribution, co-manufacturing, licensing, NDAs, and term sheets. Clear contracts before there is a conflict.
- Business formation and structure: Entity selection, formation, and governance documents for LLCs, corporations, and partnerships, structured around your goals and long-term plan.
- Equity and ownership agreements: Co-founder agreements, operating agreements, shareholder agreements, and buy-sell provisions. Getting these right early avoids conflicts that can derail a business years later.
- Regulatory and licensing support: Licensing requirements, permit applications, and regulatory compliance across food and beverage, consumer products, and professional services.
- Commercial dispute resolution: Counsel on options and representation in negotiations, mediations, and litigation when necessary. Resolution that protects your business without unnecessary disruption.
- Outside general counsel: Regular legal support without the overhead of in-house legal. Strategic thought partner as your business grows, reviewing agreements and advising on issues as they arise.
What Sets Us Apart
Most commercial legal work is not complicated, but it’s essential. The difference between a contract that protects you and one that does not often comes down to whether someone with real business experience was paying attention.
We understand how businesses operate. We have worked with founders, operators, and investors across a wide range of industries. When we review a contract or advise on a structure, we are thinking about what happens in the real world when things go right and when they do not. We give direct advice. We will tell you when something is a genuine legal risk and when it is a standard commercial term you should not lose sleep over.
Who We Work With
- Early-stage and growth-stage companies: Startups and scaling businesses across consumer products, food & beverage, and technology.
- Consumer brands and CPG businesses: Food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods companies at every stage of growth.
- Technology and software businesses: Technology companies managing commercial agreements, licensing, and vendor relationships.
