Business Transactions

Nearly every business relies on clear and enforceable contracts to operate efficiently.

Our attorneys focus on making sure contracts accurately reflect the intentions of the parties, comply with Ohio business laws, and protect our clients from future disputes. When disagreements arise during negotiation, we provide objective guidance that helps clients evaluate their options, understand the risks, and choose the best path forward. We aim to finalize deals efficiently while maintaining strong business relationships and protecting long term interests.

Corporate Advising and Outside Counsel Services

Many small and mid sized companies do not have an in house attorney. Maguire Schneckenburger Legal Group fills that role by serving as outside corporate counsel for businesses throughout Summit, Portage, Cuyahoga, Mahoning, and Stark Counties. (any other counties to include?) We support companies in Tallmadge, Akron, Kent, Stow, Hudson, Streetsboro, Ravenna, Youngstown, Cleveland, and many other Northeast Ohio communities.

As outside counsel, we provide ongoing legal guidance for:
  • Corporate structure and governance
  • Partnership and shareholder matters
  • Human resources and employment policies
  • Reviewing and drafting contracts of all types
  • Regulatory compliance and administrative matters
  • Mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations
  • Business succession and long term planning
  • Asset and stock purchases
  • Risk assessment and prevention strategies

Business owners often come to us with questions about handling employees, resolving internal disputes, structuring transactions, or preparing for growth or transition. We serve as a reliable first point of contact and offer clear, actionable advice that helps owners avoid problems before they become costly.

When a business faces litigation, our firm provides strong representation in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies. We understand how disruptive litigation can be, and we work to resolve disputes efficiently while protecting the reputation and financial stability of the company.

A Law Firm That Understands Small Business

Because Maguire Schneckenburger Legal Group is a small business itself, we approach our clients with practical insight and genuine appreciation for the challenges they face. We know what it means to manage employees, balance budgets, negotiate contracts, maintain compliance, and protect long term growth. This understanding shapes our approach to legal services and allows us to provide advice that is grounded in the realities of business ownership.

We value long term relationships with our clients and aim to become a trusted legal partner rather than a firm you call only when something goes wrong. By understanding your operations and your goals, we can tailor our services to support your business through every phase of its development.
