Pittsburgh Business Law Attorneys

As trusted Pittsburgh business law attorneys, Lebovitz & Lebovitz advises companies and owners on
business formation,
corporate governance, and
commercial litigation.
We work directly with business owners from early structuring through complex disputes, providing practical counsel that supports long term stability rather than short term transactions.

Many business matters we handle involve closely held companies, family owned entities, or ownership disputes that overlap with real estate, estate planning, or litigation concerns.

Whether you are structuring a
partnership,
corporation,
LLC, or
nonprofit,
we explain entity selection, draft operating agreements and bylaws, and negotiate key terms involving management authority, capital contributions, distributions, transfer restrictions, and buy sell protections.

We regularly assist clients who initially sought simple entity formation, but later realized the importance of clear ownership terms, succession planning, and dispute protections.

Our work often extends beyond formation. We assist with regulatory filings, contract drafting and review, loan and security documents, and enforcement when disputes arise. From ongoing operations through succession, wind up, or sale, we help ensure business decisions remain aligned with broader financial and family objectives.
