B. Prepare the Work

Like a sous chef in a fine restaurant, on some more complicated projects we perform the preliminary work before involving the specialist, thus achieving the savings of focusing and limiting the specialist’s time in the matter to their truly unique contribution. The less specialist time in the matter, the more you save.

Examples of areas in which we typically prepare the work before involving specialists:
Employee benefits – ERISA compliance, health and welfare plan maintenance, 401(k) administration, non-qualified deferred compensation plans, post-retirement medical plans
Environmental – air and wastewater permitting, groundwater remediation, hazardous waste disposal
Immigration – foreign employee visas, Green Cards
Intellectual Property – patent and trademark acquisition and maintenance
Mergers & Acquisitions – due diligence, employee transition issues in larger deals, negotiating and drafting
Real estate – pre-closing management of appraisers, brokers, environmental consultants 
 

“Having managed litigation world-wide for two decades, I have had the opportunity to engage some of the very best attorneys.  Mr. Joyner is not just one of the ten best lawyers in the Charlotte area, he is one of the most talented lawyers I have had the privilege to work with anywhere. 

Mr. Joyner has a keen sense of how a case should be handled; he works efficiently and cost-effectively; he vigorously represents his client; and he is respected by judges and opposing attorneys as a person of high ethics and abundant integrity.  Matt Joyner is a truly stellar attorney.”
