Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Business Formation
Business Disputes
Business Transactions
Founded in 1988, Galanis, Pollack, Jacobs & Johnson, S.C. believed that there was a need for a smaller sized firm with large firm capabilities and experience, specializing in business transactions, labor and employment law, negotiations and civil and commercial litigation. The firm’s experienced attorneys have superior credentials and offer highly personalized client service. We pride ourselves on client satisfaction; it is our number one priority. We view ourselves as “counselors” functioning as strategic advisors and, when necessary, zealous trial attorneys. Our objective is cost-effective, successful results for our clients.
Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property
A merger or acquisition involves matters much more than legalities. Whether representing the buyer or seller, it is important to understand the client's business and objective to most effectively advise on issues, including tax implications, labor employment issues, intellectual property issues, indemnification, and implementing maximum synergy among the organizations.

Employment Law

Workers Compensation
Recent developments in leaves of absence and workplace accommodations have drastically increased the liability employers’ face in addressing such requests by employees and applicants. The increased complexity regarding the interplay of state and federal laws concerning family and medical leave, worker's compensation and disability accommodations, have made compliance all the more difficult. We provide our clients with assistance in compliance with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and similar state leave and accommodation laws and worker's compensation requirements. From drafting forms, policies and procedures, to consulting on day-to-day compliance issues, we provide businesses with practical and timely solutions to leave and accommodation problems and strategies for litigation avoidance. When litigation does arise, we are skilled in defending claims leave and accommodation claims in all state and federal forums.
Wrongful Termination
From responding to administrative complaints before the Wisconsin Equal Rights Division (ERD) and U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), to defending clients in complex federal litigation, our firm is experienced in evaluating, resolving, and when necessary, vigorously defending all manner of lawsuits alleging violations of employment law. On a state and federal level we have extensive litigation experience in defending all manner of employment claims, including: sexual and other forms of harassment, discrimination (i.e. race, sex, disability, and age), retaliation, wrongful termination, breach of contract, protected leaves and wage and hour claims. We have defended clients in hundreds of administrative claims before the EEOC and the ERD. We will prepare a cost-effective and winning strategy to either resolve or prevail all forms of employment litigation.
Employment Discrimination
Employment Contract
*Draft, revise and administer employee handbooks, workplace policies and procedures, leave policies, separation agreements and all manner of employment documents and contracts (i.e. employment contracts, independent contractor agreements, confidentiality and no solicitation agreements, covenants not to compete, separation agreements.)
Employment Litigation
Our attorneys firmly believe in the axiom that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This is particularly true in the employment setting, where laws are constantly in flux and where the risks and costs in employment litigation are steadily increasing. By addressing workplace issues in a proactive and collaborative manner, we help our clients avoid problems before they occur.

Property Law

Construction Litigation
We assist virtually all segments of the construction industry serving a wide variety of contractors and owners, both for municipal/government and private construction. We represent clients in the development, negotiation and review of construction agreements. Unfortunately, construction can result in disputes. Liens can frequently become an issue. Our experience in evaluating these situations and helping our clients reach satisfactory solutions has been one of our strong suits. Of course, our key objective is to do everything possible to minimize the chances of having problems by effectively representing the client on the front-end.
Property Damage
Subrogation rightfully holds responsible parties liable for their actions and errors in causing property damage and accidents. An insurance carrier with an effective subrogation program can reduce premiums on behalf of their policyholders, and recovering claim dollars directly and positively affects a client’s finances.

Immigration Law

Citizenship and Naturalization

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
There may be instances when a person is not satisfied with how another person’s probate proceedings are being conducted. Situations may include objecting to a Will, filing a claim in the estate, or questioning how a Personal Representative is handling the estate administration. We represent clients in such disputes in the probate court.
Wills
Trusts
We offer important and strategically developed estate planning services to assist clients with planning their futures. Our expertise in real estate, insurance, business formation and lending provides an excellent background for effective estate and business transition/succession planning. Our estate planning services can range from basic and inexpensive Wills to complex trusts and probate litigation.
Power of Attorney
A financial power of attorney is a lifetime document. In the event a person is incapacitated, the designated agent will have the authority to make all financial decisions for the incapacitated person.
Probate

Finance Law

Bankruptcy
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves the elimination of debts and can involve the removal of security interests in collateral. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy case does not involve the filing of a plan of repayment as in Chapter 13.
Foreclosure
Whenever a debtor files for protection under the bankruptcy code, an automatic stay puts a halt to all collection, repossession and foreclosure efforts by a creditor. A motion for relief from the automatic stay is a creditor motion requesting the court for permission to foreclose on its security interest. A creditor who violates the automatic stay may be subject to harsh penalties.
Tax Law
Trusts are used for a variety of reasons. A trust is helpful when there are minor children, or parents do not want children to inherit assets at age eighteen. A trust is used to facilitate the transfer of assets at death, and in many cases may eliminate the need for a probate proceeding. More complex trusts may be used for estate (death) tax planning, planning for a special needs child, or in second marriage situations
Debt Collection
The firm has extensive experience in the debt collection legal field. We are leading experts in the intricacies of the Wisconsin Consumer Act and replevin law. We have an extensive track record working with lenders, commercial clients, finance companies and small businesses to achieve impressive results. We employ a combination of experience and a tenacious approach in advocating our clients’ best interests. We assist with both secured and unsecured debt collection practices as well as commercial and consumer debts.
