Business Transactions and Corporate Counsel
Businesses need more than litigation counsel—they need trusted legal advisors who understand how transactions, contracts, and daily business decisions affect long-term success. At Fellig Schwartz, LLC, we serve as outside corporate counsel to companies throughout New Jersey and New York, including New York City and surrounding counties.
Our attorneys advise businesses on contracts, transactions, and operational issues that arise throughout the life of a company. We work closely with business owners, executives, and management teams to structure agreements, manage risk, and resolve legal issues before they become disputes.
Whether assisting with a single transaction or serving as ongoing corporate counsel, our goal is to provide practical, business-focused legal guidance that helps companies operate efficiently and profitably.
Business Contracts and Commercial Transactions
Well-drafted agreements are critical to protecting your company’s interests. Our attorneys regularly negotiate, draft, review, and close a wide range of business contracts and transactions, helping clients structure deals that are clear, enforceable, and aligned with their business goals.
We assist businesses with agreements and transactions such as:
-
Commercial real estate purchase and sale agreements
-
Commercial real estate transactions
-
Commercial leases

Professional service agreements

Employment agreements, separation agreements

Commercial financing and refinancing transactions
Our role often includes guiding the transaction from initial negotiation through closing, ensuring that contractual terms accurately reflect the parties’ expectations and protect our clients’ legal and financial interests.
Contract Review and Risk Management
Many business disputes arise from contracts that were poorly drafted, unclear, or not fully understood at the time they were signed. We help businesses evaluate and manage these risks before problems arise.
Our attorneys advise clients on:
-
The enforceability of contracts
-
Contract interpretation and potential exposure
-
Rights and obligations under existing agreements
-
Strategies for modifying or renegotiating contracts
-
Preventing disputes through clearer contractual language
By addressing potential issues early, we help clients avoid costly litigation and maintain productive business relationships.

Managing contractual obligations
