BUSINESS LAW: FORMATION, ORGANIZATION, ACQUISITION, REGULATION, REPRESENTATION

IBLF was founded by a group of attorneys who felt that businesses without their own legal departments needed more effective legal service, which could be provided by an attorney who was business-experienced. IBLF’s attorneys have run their own businesses in other areas, and as a consequence, have dealt with the problems that face the business owner in dealing with bureaucracy, regulatory agencies, employment problems, import and export controls, contracts, and transactions.
