Professionalism is the Word
I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.Very Satisfied
I hired Paul Fellman after speaking to several different lawyers from different law firms because he was the most sincere. Paul did an excellent job on my landlord tenant issue I had on my rental property. He was there for me from the beginning to the end of the whole ordeal. I was very satisfied and I highly recommend him and his firm.

Frequently Asked Questions About Business Transactions Lawyers In Media Pa
What is the first step in starting a new business in Pennsylvania?
The first step is choosing the correct legal entity, such as an LLC, S Corporation, or partnership. This decision impacts your liability, taxation, and administrative requirements. An experienced business attorney at Gibson & Perkins, PC can advise on the best structure for your specific goals and handle the necessary formation documents and state filings.
Why is it important to have an attorney review a business contract?
Having an attorney review a business contract is crucial to protect your interests and avoid future disputes. A lawyer can identify unfavorable terms, clarify ambiguous language, and ensure the agreement is legally enforceable and complies with all applicable laws. The attorneys at Gibson & Perkins, PC provide thorough contract review to mitigate your risks.
What is due diligence in a business acquisition?
Due diligence is the comprehensive investigation of a business’s financial, legal, and operational health before an acquisition. It involves reviewing contracts, financial statements, corporate records, and intellectual property to identify potential liabilities. The team at Gibson & Perkins, PC conducts meticulous due diligence to ensure our clients make informed investment decisions.
What is the difference between an asset purchase and a stock purchase?
In an asset purchase, the buyer acquires specific assets (and potentially liabilities) of a company, but not the company itself. In a stock purchase, the buyer acquires the seller’s shares, taking ownership of the entire legal entity, including all its assets and liabilities. The choice has significant tax and liability implications, and Gibson & Perkins, PC can advise on the best approach for your transaction.
How can a lawyer help with a shareholder or partnership dispute?
A lawyer can help resolve shareholder or partnership disputes by negotiating a resolution, mediating the conflict, or, if necessary, representing your interests in litigation. We can enforce the terms of your shareholder or partnership agreement and advise on legal options such as buyouts or dissolution. The attorneys at Gibson & Perkins, PC are experienced in handling complex internal business disputes.
What is a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)?
A non-disclosure agreement (NDA), or confidentiality agreement, is a legal contract that obligates a party to keep certain proprietary information confidential. NDAs are essential when discussing potential business deals, sharing trade secrets, or engaging with potential investors. Gibson & Perkins, PC drafts and reviews NDAs to protect our clients’ valuable intellectual property.
How does a buy-sell agreement work?
A buy-sell agreement is a legally binding contract between co-owners of a business that governs what happens if a co-owner leaves due to death, disability, or retirement. It typically outlines the terms for buying out the departing owner’s share. Gibson & Perkins, PC helps business owners create these agreements as part of a comprehensive succession plan.
