Formation  Transactions  Intellectual Property

Do you have a great idea for a business in the Puget Sound area? Are you looking for an attorney to help you decide the best type of business entity to create? Are there intellectual property concerns, including trademarks and trade secrets that need to be protected? Contact the law offices of G. Kenneth O'Mhuan, in Freeland, Washington, to discuss your business planning needs.

Ken O'Mhuan, has been in practice since 1970, and has been on Whidbey Island since 1995. He enjoys the opportunity to practice in a more relaxed setting, while simultaneously providing a high level of professionalism to our clients.

Business Formation/Transactions

At O'Mhuan Law Offices, we work with clients throughout Puget Sound and Whidbey Island in matters related to business formation and transactions. We understand the implications of different business forms, from sole proprietorships and partnerships to limited liability companies (LLCs) and closely held corporations. We know that every situation is unique and we listen carefully to identify client goals and help our clients understand which entity from or strategy best meets their needs. We stand by to counsel and advocate as the business grows in such matters as vendor contracts, customers relations, and liability avoidance.

Intellectual Property Counsel

We also work closely with clients who need to protect their business ideas, such as: choices of filing of published patent applications or the development of trade secret protections. Or, for another example, if we determine that a trademark will provide you with the best protection, we will advise client about the relative strength of different types of marks. We can also file all the necessary paperwork to register your trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. If it makes more sense to protect your idea as a trade secret, we will prepare the appropriate confidentiality agreements to keep your intellectual property out of the public domain.

Blended Legal Interests

At our offices, we understand that business planning and estate planning are frequently related. When we set up your estate plan, we need to consider your business needs. Likewise, when we are choosing the appropriate type of business entity or looking at ownership options for your business, we often do so with a least some consideration for how your business assets will be distributed in your estate plan. If you are like most of our clients, your business concerns will also deal with your estate and family.
