Practice Area Overview
Real Estate & Business Law
J. Tyler Henderson is well versed in real estate and business law. From land conveyances and easements to starting or selling your own business, he can help advise you and guide you through the legal process.
Growing a business and making it profitable – growing it into something you’re proud of – is quite an accomplishment. Let us help you protect that accomplishment. Our true value is not in helping you fill out paperwork – although that is an important step – but in the business and legal counsel we provide.
Internet legal providers may be able to help you file simple paperwork, but they’re not meant to help you reason through complex business issues and structures. A rudimentary understanding of the legal complexities of starting or running your business can have a lasting impact on its success and profitability. That’s where we step in.

Business Formation & LLCs
More Info
When you start a business, you want to make sure you’re choosing the right entity for your situation. Consult with a business attorney to make sure your business is starting off on the right legal foot!
What type of business entity should I form?
The answer to this will depend entirely on your goals for your company and the business you're in. Ask yourself these questions:
- How many owners will there be?
- Will you have employees?
- How many employees will you have?
- What is your primary business activity?
- Will you have investors?
- Are there owners who will not be active in management (silent partners)?
A good business attorney will be able to help you choose the right entity for your business.
Do I need legal advice just to form a business?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is, you won't actually know if you needed legal advice until a problem arises or a mistake made starts to affect your business model. Remember that it's almost always more expensive to fix a mistake than it is to prevent that mistake in the first place.
If I find something wrong with a home or property after I buy it, can I do anything about it?
In many contracts, the buyer will be offered a warranty policy by their real estate agency in case there are any losses incurred on your part. Find out if you were given a warranty. If not, it may be time to speak to a real estate law attorney.
With an "As-Is" home sale, who is responsible for major repairs?
Typically, homes being sold "as-is" mean that the buyer is responsible for all repairs that need to be made. If you feel that something was grossly misrepresented to you, or hidden during negotiations, contact an attorney about your options.
