Business Law Plus Business Acumen

Hanszen Laporte’s business attorneys advise clients on a wide range of commercial law matters with the goal of adding value to every business decision. The exposure our lawyers receive to contract law, entity formation, and commercial litigation helps us comprehend the real business value of the results being sought — an understanding which often leads to faster, more favorable resolutions.

Our attorneys have helped countless businesses and nonprofit organizations craft transactions in all aspects of commercial, contract, employment, and transaction law. We focus on providing cost-effective legal services as both corporate in-house counsel and outside general counsel for companies of any size, from small entities and start-ups to Fortune 500 enterprises.
