Business Law Counsel To Promote Profitability

Building and sustaining a profitable business requires accomplished legal counsel. At Hammerschmidt, Amaral & Jonas, we partner with South Bend businesses to provide the trusted support that they need. Our attorneys have represented some of the area’s largest companies and small, family-run businesses. We understand the needs of each type of business and how to best promote your long-term profitability.

Our lawyers have worked with clients from a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, health care, construction and professional services. Attorney Joseph L. Amaral serves as general counsel to the Beacon Medical System, Memorial Hospital of South Bend, Beacon Health Systems and Beacon Medical Group — three of St. Joseph County’s largest employers. We take your unique industry, goals and firm structure into account as we create a personalized strategy that pursues the best path forward.

Guidance Through All Stages Of Your Firm’s Life

We can offer legal counsel from your firm’s initial formation through succession. Our team can assist with many aspects of starting and running a company, including:

  • Selecting a business entity
  • Formation
  • Employment contracts
  • Contract disputes
  • Partnership agreements
  • Commercial litigation
  • Real estate transactions
  • Succession plans
  • Bankruptcy and debt solutions

While we are capable litigators, we are also mediators and arbitrators. In many cases, settling a dispute outside of court can benefit your company. Using an alternative dispute resolution can decrease your costs and resolve your problem in a fraction of the time. We will work with you to evaluate your situation and guide you toward a resolution.
