Small business attorney Alex Shenderov at AMS Legal providing contracts business formation and legal guidance to Missouri businesses

Operating a business involves more than providing goods or services — it also requires careful attention to agreements, obligations, and risk management. Many business owners encounter legal questions when forming a company, entering contracts, or resolving disputes with customers, vendors, or partners. Our office assists small businesses and entrepreneurs by providing practical legal guidance so you understand your responsibilities and can make informed decisions.

Missouri businesses commonly require assistance with reviewing and preparing contracts, service agreements, lease matters, and general business documentation. Addressing these issues early often prevents larger disputes later. We work with business owners to review terms, explain potential risks, and ensure agreements reflect the expectations of the parties involved. When disagreements arise, we help evaluate options for resolution, including negotiation or formal legal action when appropriate.

We also assist clients with basic business formation considerations and operational issues, including choosing an appropriate business structure, understanding liability concerns, and maintaining compliance with applicable requirements. Our goal is not only to address current issues but to help business owners anticipate problems and avoid unnecessary legal exposure.

Whether you are starting a new venture or managing an established business, we provide straightforward guidance so you can focus on running your business while understanding the legal implications of important decisions.

Past results afford no guarantee of future results and every case is different and must be judged on its own merits.

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.
