Shrewsbury Business Lawyers

Running a business brings both opportunities and challenges. At Sanvenero & Cittadino, LLC, we know how important it is for business owners to have trusted legal advisors who can guide them through every stage of the business lifecycle. From launching a startup to handling complex transactions or resolving disputes, our attorneys provide comprehensive business law services designed to protect your interests and help your business thrive.

Based in Shrewsbury, we represent entrepreneurs, closely held businesses, and established companies throughout Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex counties, across the northern Jersey Shore, and into Central Jersey. Whether you are negotiating contracts, navigating employment matters, or addressing high-stakes litigation, our Shrewsbury business law attorneys are here to provide practical advice, skilled advocacy, and long-term solutions.

A Comprehensive Shrewsbury Business Law Practice

One of the strengths of Sanvenero & Cittadino is the breadth of our business law practice. We handle both transactional and litigation matters, which means we are able to support businesses not just in their daily operations but also when disputes arise. Because business issues often touch on other areas of law — from real estate to intellectual property to employment — our general practice background allows us to provide well-rounded representation.

Our business law services include:

Contracts

Contracts are at the core of every business. We assist with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating all types of agreements, ensuring that your contracts are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your goals. When disputes occur, we represent clients in breach of contract cases and work to resolve conflicts efficiently.

Corporate Governance & Governance Agreements

Proper governance is essential for businesses of every size. We help companies establish and maintain sound governance structures, including bylaws, shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, and operating agreements. Clear governance documents not only prevent disputes but also provide a roadmap for decision-making and growth.

Employment Agreements

We assist employers with drafting and negotiating employment contracts, non-compete agreements, confidentiality agreements, and severance agreements. For businesses, these documents provide clarity and protection. For executives and employees, they can define rights and obligations in a way that safeguards long-term interests.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions can transform a business, but they also involve complex legal and financial considerations. Our attorneys guide clients through due diligence, negotiations, regulatory compliance, and closing, ensuring that the transaction is structured in a way that supports long-term success.

Cannabis Law

As New Jersey’s cannabis industry continues to grow, businesses face unique legal and regulatory challenges. We assist entrepreneurs and investors with licensing, compliance, business structuring, and contracts within this evolving industry. Our knowledge of both business law and cannabis regulations positions us to provide valuable counsel in this emerging market.

Loan Transactions

We represent businesses in loan negotiations and financing arrangements, helping to ensure that the terms of your lending agreements are favorable and workable. From small business loans to complex financing structures, we provide guidance at every stage of the process.

Consumer Fraud

We represent businesses facing consumer fraud claims, providing both defense in litigation and proactive strategies for compliance. We also advise businesses on consumer protection laws so they can minimize risks and avoid costly disputes.

Intellectual Property

A business’s intellectual property can be one of its most valuable assets. We help clients protect trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and we provide guidance on licensing and intellectual property agreements. By safeguarding your creative and proprietary assets, we help strengthen your competitive advantage.

Business Litigation

Even with careful planning and strong agreements in place, disputes are sometimes unavoidable. At Sanvenero & Cittadino, we represent clients in business litigation, handling everything from straightforward contract disputes to complex shareholder battles. Our approach is to resolve disputes efficiently whenever possible, but we are fully prepared to advocate in court when litigation is necessary.

Our business litigation practice includes:

Business Disputes

We handle a wide variety of disputes that arise between businesses, vendors, contractors, and other parties. Our goal is to resolve conflicts in a way that minimizes disruption and protects your bottom line.

Breach of Contract

When one party fails to meet its obligations under a contract, the consequences can be serious. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in breach of contract cases, seeking fair and practical resolutions.

Partnership & Shareholder Disputes

Disagreements among business partners or shareholders can threaten the stability of the entire business. We help clients resolve disputes over ownership, management, profit distribution, and succession, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

Closely Held Business Disputes

Family-owned and closely held businesses often face unique challenges, especially when personal relationships overlap with business decisions. We understand these dynamics and work to find solutions that protect both the business and the individuals involved.

Creditor Representation

We represent creditors in disputes involving collections, defaults, and bankruptcy proceedings. Our attorneys work to enforce creditor rights while pursuing cost-effective strategies for recovery.

Business Torts

Business tort claims, such as fraud, misrepresentation, interference with contracts, or unfair competition, can cause significant harm. We help clients pursue claims or defend against allegations to safeguard their reputation and financial interests.

Trusted Advisors for Businesses of All Sizes in Shrewsbury

At Sanvenero & Cittadino, we see ourselves not just as lawyers but as partners to our business clients. Many of the entrepreneurs and companies we represent come to us early in their development and continue working with us for years as their businesses grow and evolve. We take pride in building these long-term relationships and being the first call our clients make whenever a legal issue arises.

Because we are a general practice firm, our business clients also benefit from our knowledge in other areas of law.
