Throughout the firm’s history, Burch & Cracchiolo has helped emerging and established businesses grow and prosper.

Representation of Businesses. For ongoing businesses, the firm performs a variety of legal services, including the negotiation and preparation of contracts, employment agreements, stock option agreements, buy-sell agreements, leases, and preparing and negotiating licensing and other commercial agreements. In addition, the firm regularly advises start-up business entities. Representation of these clients often includes documenting the formation of corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies, structuring of debt and equity financing transactions, negotiating employment agreements, instituting executive and employee compensation programs, and negotiating and documenting ownership and voting agreements.
Business Litigation. Burch & Cracchiolo represents many of its business entity clients in a vast array of litigation matters. Litigation may arise from a payment dispute with vendors or a customer, which often quickly develops into claims of breach of contract and other charges. Many lawsuits begin with an employee complaint, sometimes based on allegations of harassment or discrimination and often associated with the employee's termination. As the use of confidentiality non-compete agreements become increasingly common, legal actions brought by a former employer to enforce those agreements may increase as well.
Burch & Cracchiolo is heavily engaged in business litigation, primarily in the areas of contract, tort, employment and product liability claims. The firm practices in all Arizona state and federal courts, providing cost-effective legal representation to business clients. Finally, the firm provides advisory services designed to find alternative solutions in order to prevent litigation.
