Business Disputes

Business Transactions
Limited Liability Companies
The Web has made it very easy and inexpensive to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC). However, if you have two or more members of the LLC, an Operating Agreement ("OA") is an absolute necessity. We are often contacted by Limited Liability Companies after formation to assist them with issues that could often be prevented by an Operating Agreement.
Unfair Competition
General commercial litigation forms the second core of Seeley and Berglass's litigation practice. These cases involve commercial claims, as well as contract and construction cases, claims in the unfair competition area, tortious interference, state and federal antitrust, and traditional trade claims.
Antitrust

Real Estate Litigation
Elizabeth Seeley assists clients in finding creative solutions which meet their individual needs and objectives. She advises LLC's, partnerships and other closely held business entities in a wide range of formative and operational matters, including which entity to choose, capital requirements and configurations, contract reviews, and commercial, industrial, and residential real estate matters. In addition, she assists individuals in the preparation of estate plans and with financial planning and money management.
Real Estate Transactions
Our real estate practice covers a broad range of real estate transactions from complex development projects to leasing of space for clients and residential real estate purchases and sales. The Lawyers at Seeley & Berglass have among them more than 90 years of experience in real estate, and in real estate based workout solutions and in the development of and financing for new and existing ventures. Seeley & Berglass has represented developers of multi-unit projects, and investors in such projects.

Personal Injury
Employment law has grown as a specialty, partly in response to general economic conditions. Seeley and Berglass practices employment law in both state and federal agencies and courts. Further, Seeley and Berglass has litigated extensively in the areas of estate and probate, as well as personal injury matters.
Social Security Disability
Special Needs Trusts are established so that a disabled person who is supported by public assistance programs (such as Medicaid, Social Security Disability Income or Supplemental Security Income) can be provided with "extras" which are unavailable under public benefit programs, without reducing or otherwise affecting the disabled person's eligibility for public assistance.

Estate Planning
Assets placed into a Special Needs Trust are managed by a Trustee, providing protection for the beneficiary who often cannot manage his or her own financial affairs. If a third party sets up a Special Needs Trust then the assets which remain in that Trust can be passed to a remainder beneficiary upon the death of the disabled person. In a situation where the creator of the Trust for a Special Needs beneficiary needs to address estate taxes as a factor in his or her estate planning then a Special Needs Trust can be established in a way which will remove the assets in the Trust from the creator's estate.
Trusts
The income and principal of Special Needs Trusts can supply books, magazines, clothing, bus passes, hobby supplies, trips to movies, plays and sporting events, as well as payment for dental costs, a cell or telephone, a wheelchair, special care, and other items otherwise unaffordable to the disabled person (and not provided by the assistance program).
