Contract negotiations and drafting

All corporations are required to have articles of incorporation, bylaws and to keep corporate minutes and resolutions for annual meetings and other important events.

In addition, to these documents, a shareholders agreement is important to define the roles of shareholders and their responsibilities to each other and the company. It also provides important succession planning to allow the company to survive a major life event for one or more shareholders such as a divorce, bankruptcy, incapacity or death.

It is critical that a shareholder agreement be negotiated up front and not after a major life event when conflicting interests may make resolution of disputes more difficult and costly.

Client Success Stories

Kent was very helpful in understanding the employee and employer relationship. He is highly thoughtful and considerate with the needs of his client. I appreciate the level of discussion we had. It helped me to be more clear on what can be done under the California law regarding my employees and business relationships.

Super knowledgeable, friendly and available to answer questions. He is our company's attorney and has always been excellent. Two thumbs up, I would give him three if I had an extra set of digits.

We just had our estate plan done with attorney Kent W. Keating. My husband and I had put it off for many years, it was always one of those things on our list of things to do. After learning about what can happen if we didn't have our estate plan or Wills, we decided to finally get it done. I contacted Mr. Keating and he walked us through the process. He explained every step to us and in a way that was easy to understand. Having our Wills and advanced directives now has given us so much peace of mind. I highly recommend everyone have their estate plan done and I highly recommend the Law Offices of Kent W. Keating!

We are extremely pleased with the level of professionalism and expertise Kent Keating has brought to All Pro Construction in incorporating our business and preparing our construction contracts. We would gladly recommend him and his law firm to any business or individual in need of legal advice.

What impresses me most about Kent Keating is that he listens, is honest with his replies and advises on what’s best for YOU. I’ve known Kent Keating for about 7 years and appreciate his professionalism, consistency and down-to-earth approach. He’s become a trusted friend.

Micki and I commissioned Kent Keating to do our Trust , as well as draft the Agreement we have with the contract locksmiths who work with our company. He has provided us with peace of mind, knowing that our personal and business affairs are protected. He is expert in his field and was patient with the questions we had and changes we made. He was very pleasant to work with, yet efficient and thorough. We highly recommend Kent for any personal , or business legal issues/questions you may have.
