Joint ventures and other strategic alliances can help your business expand its market reach, achieve operational synergies and improve profitability. A well-structured arrangement may also give your business the chance to “audition” for a future merger. Keys to a successful alliance are thoroughly vetting your partner, putting a strong agreement in place and focusing on financial objectives. Regularly evaluate the relationship and, if it becomes a drain on resources, revise or end it. However, if it’s mutually beneficial, consider a permanent merger. Call us at (770) 298-5684 to help ensure any alliance supports your long-term business goals.

Even simple task rotations can build flexibility and long-term resilience. Call us at (770) 298-5684 for help designing a cross-training approach tailored to your organization’s needs.

Intellectual property (IP) is foundational to the value of most businesses. To help ensure you actually own your company’s patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other IP, work with an attorney to draft a standard invention assignment agreement. Employees and independent contractors should sign it when they’re hired and provide you with a list of excluded inventions (developed on their own or for previous employers). Legal advice is critical, but contact us as well. We can help you address IP ownership issues before you sell your business or before workers leave your employment. We can also help identify financial and tax considerations of IP. Call us at (770) 298-5684.
