Legal Partners For Growing And Established Businesses

We understand Minnesota small business’s legal needs. Our business and corporate law team knows the local market and works with resorts, service providers and retail shops across Greater Minnesota. Our clients benefit from our local rates and community knowledge. Metro firms charge more and know less about the region. Our preventative approach helps you avoid legal problems before they start.

We handle commercial real estate contracts of all kinds, including commercial property lease reviews. We review employment agreements and provide corporate legal counsel services for daily operations.

We Support Your Business From Start To Success

Your business and corporate law attorney at Breen & Person, Ltd., will support you through four key stages. These are:

  • Start-up: Entity formation and structure selection set you up correctly.
  • Growth: Commercial leases and contracts fuel safe expansion.
  • Operations: Ongoing counsel and compliance keep you protected.
  • Transition: Succession planning and legacy preservation secure your life’s work.

You can count on our experience to guide you through each phase with confidence and practical solutions.

When Should I Start Planning For My Business’s Succession?

Start planning as early as possible. Most business law attorney teams recommend beginning succession planning at least five years before your target exit date. Complex businesses may need even more time. Family transitions require careful planning to avoid conflict and tax problems.

Sale preparations need time to maximize value and find the right buyer. Early planning also protects your business if unexpected health issues or opportunities arise. Whether you plan to transfer ownership to family or sell to a third party, advance planning ensures a smooth transition and preserves what you built.
