General Counsel Services
Just because you don't have an attorney on staff doesn't mean you don't need one. Kreider Hughes Law understands that businesses need advocates, too. That's why the firm is proud to offer a broad range of general counsel services to companies of all sizes including guidance on employee issues, regulatory compliance, workplace best practices, corporate governance, and vendor contracts. Whether you have an ongoing need for general counsel services, or are seeking project-based assistance, Kreider Hughes Law can help.
ESTATE PLANNING
Among all of the many things that are unknowable about the future, there are a few certainties with which each of us will need to contend. Estate planning empowers you and your loved ones by memorializing key decisions and instructions for navigating difficult circumstances. It is not an endeavor reserved exclusively for the 1% either; anyone with loved ones or assets to protect can benefit from having an estate plan. Whether that includes writing a will, establishing a trust, or memorializing your wishes in a healthcare directive, Kreider Hughes Law can help you manifest your intentions to protect what is most important to you now and in the years and decades to come.
CONTRACTS
Contracts make the world go round. They are the building blocks of relationships of every kind serving to memorialize the promises made by each party to sustain the arrangement. As commonplace as they are, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that contracts are legal instruments powerful enough to subject their signatories to liability, including significant financial consequences. If you are seeking an advocate with extensive experience negotiating and drafting contracts, including non-disclosure agreements, loan documents, buy-sell agreements, operating agreements, consulting agreements, professional services agreements and the like, look no further. Kreider Hughes Law can help you build a network of service providers, vendors, and customers with confidence that their performance and your interests are secured.

The firm can assist with landlord/tenant issues, contract analysis and negotiation, risk assessments, and a myriad of situations otherwise warranting the advice and guidance of legal counsel.
