  3. James D. Dati - Small Business

Profile

When it comes to business, Jim doesn’t equate small with unsophisticated. His many years counseling family-owned, closely held or solo business owners has given Jim an inimitable perspective on the practical issues that face small businesses.

Jim regularly advises on for-profit entity forms for businesses ventures, and then assists in governance and management matters. He has drafted many shareholder agreements, buy-sell agreements and operating and partnership agreements for businesses in very divergent industries. Jim has assisted in developing core customer and vendor documents, like purchase order terms and conditions, work proposals and service quotes.
