Business And Commercial Law Attorneys In Novi, Michigan

Running a business means confronting legal decisions at nearly every stage – from formation choices to contracts, ownership transitions and long-term planning. At Fleming & Borowicz PLC, we serve as a strategic business law attorney resource for small and midsize businesses across Novi, Oakland County and Metro Detroit. Our attorneys bring more than 40 years of combined legal experience to the challenges business owners face throughout the life of their company. Businesses with meaningful operational stakes deserve direct attorney access, thoughtful legal strategy and a business law firm that understands their goals – not just their immediate problems.

What Does A Business And Commercial Law Attorney Do?

Business owners often find that their legal needs go well beyond a single contract or isolated dispute. A business law attorney provides ongoing legal guidance across the full range of issues businesses face – entity structure, agreements, transactions, governance and risk management among them. At Fleming & Borowicz PLC, we function as a commercial law attorney resource that understands the business context behind every legal decision we handle.

Our business law representation commonly includes:

• Advising on business formation and entity selection to align legal structure with ownership goals and tax considerations
• Drafting and reviewing operating agreements and other foundational governance documents
• Guiding owners through purchase and sale transactions involving business interests and assets
• Addressing corporate governance obligations and managing ownership-level decisions
• Identifying and managing legal risk embedded in business operations, vendor relationships and daily decision-making
• Coordinating transactional and operational legal strategy with longer-term planning goals

Business owners who treat legal counsel as a planning resource – rather than a last resort – manage risk more effectively and protect long-term value.

When Should A Business Consider Outside General Counsel?

Many growing businesses operate without dedicated in-house legal staff. When legal questions arise around a contract, a supplier relationship, a potential acquisition or an ownership dispute, these businesses often seek legal help on a reactive, as-needed basis. That approach can leave meaningful gaps and create legal exposure that compounds over time.

Working with a business lawyer on an ongoing basis offers a more strategic alternative. Outside general counsel provides business owners with proactive, consistent legal access rooted in a thorough understanding of their operations. At Fleming & Borowicz PLC, we serve in this capacity for businesses that want direct, experienced legal guidance without the cost of an in-house legal team.

This model tends to serve businesses in the range of roughly $5 million to $100 million in annual revenue – companies that benefit from a business law attorney who knows their operations. Our attorneys work directly with each client, never pushing matters to junior staff. When legal questions arise, clients reach a business law attorney who already knows their business.

Business Law Services Built Around Your Business And Its Goals

No two businesses face the same legal challenges, and the strategies that serve them should reflect that. At Fleming & Borowicz PLC, we serve small and midsize companies as a business law attorney team, building legal approaches around each client’s structure, ownership dynamics, risk profile and long-term objectives.

Our attorneys provide legal guidance for businesses across a broad range of matters, including:

• Business formation and entity considerations: We help owners navigate entity selection, address liability questions and structure their business from the ground up.
• Operating agreements and ownership documents: Our team can draft operating agreements, shareholder agreements and other core documents that reflect actual ownership intent and reduce future conflict.
• Buying and selling business interests: We guide owners through purchase and sale transactions, including acquisitions, stake sales and negotiated interest transfers.
• Corporate governance and compliance: We help ownership teams manage governance obligations, document key decisions and maintain the legal integrity of their business structure.
• Operational legal risk management: We help clients identify and address legal risk in daily operations, vendor agreements and employment matters before challenges escalate.
• Long-term planning coordination: We connect our transactional and operational counsel to succession planning and other forward-looking strategies so business owners can plan with confidence.

Each engagement begins with a clear understanding of where your business stands today and where you intend to take it.

Contracts, Disputes And Succession Planning – Connected Legal Support

Business owners often ask whether a business law firm can handle both transactions and disputes. In practice, these areas rarely stay in separate lanes. A contract dispute can reveal gaps in a shareholder agreement. An ownership transition can surface unresolved governance questions. A business sale can require careful coordination with succession planning.

At Fleming & Borowicz PLC, we provide connected legal guidance as a team of business law attorneys across these disciplines. Our attorneys handle business contracts – from vendor and service agreements to more complex commercial arrangements – with careful attention to how each agreement functions within its broader legal context. When disputes arise, our business litigation practice delivers focused representation. When business owners begin planning their long-term exit or ownership transition, our succession planning counsel creates a clear path forward.

Working with a business law attorney who understands your operations, your agreements and your governance structure means that planned transitions and unexpected challenges become more manageable because your counsel already knows the terrain.
