Bankruptcy & Business Litigation

This area of our law practice is most reflective of our legal creativity.  Business in the nineties requires innovation, responsiveness and flexibility to overcome competitive insurgence.  Our role as we see it, is to facilitate your corporate objectives.  With extensive business experience, we can readily assess opportunities to benefit your business.  If you wish to obtain capital, structure a new acquisition, or require M&A to review and advise in negotiations relating to contracts and agreements, we’ll allow you to focus upon your business.  However, changes in economic environment have not necessarily benefited all.  Often times, good ideas and good management teams need time, and protection.  Legal alternatives and reorganizations exist which insulate you as a debtor.  The bankruptcy court is not just for legislation.  This firm aggressively implements a creative means to protect your business from liquidation or dissolution.  The close relationship we enjoy with many of our clients has, over the years, evolved into profitable partnerships.  It is through trust, faith in ability, and our proven, successful track-record which M&A should be judged.  Results are not a function of how big you are, but how big you think.

Commercial & Real Estate

The complexity of today’s approach to real estate development requires diligence, and familiarity with the evolution of the law and its application.  As a result of the zealous expansion through many of the past years, caution has prevailed.  Therefore, accessing capital can be difficult, and fresh approaches are now required to be incorporated.  We have worked closely with our clients to devise profitable uses of existing real estate inventory.  This, at times, may require appeals of existing zoning and land use ordinances, and you should seek the representation of attorneys who appear regularly before the local, county, and state planning boards.  Of course, we have represented both lenders and borrowers in all phases of development.  From initial purchase of property, to development, financing and closing for sales, the office also represents the client for purposes of foreclosure.  Our clients include many regional developers, owners, and property managers.  We have particular sensitivity to the financial and tax aspects of development.  We structure and negotiate joint ventures, general and limited partnerships, and tax credit programs.

Estate Planning & Wills

Governments have made significant changes in our laws which can adversely affect the desired intentions of asset protection and distribution.  Estate or inheritance taxes can absorb the majority of one’s gifts.  Malsbury & Armenante can provide the appropriate tax counsel and financial planning you require.  Its attorneys are committed to not only familiarizing you with the existing laws, but through continued education and expertise in tax law, have discovered creative means of protecting the disposition of an estate.  Estate planning can be complex, and an expensive error can be made.  We represent beneficiaries and fiduciaries in will contests.  The reduction of your tax liability is paramount, as are the rights afforded to you under the law.

Family Law & Domestic Litigation

In the practice of law, as with many professions, we are confronted with challenges which are not necessarily desirable.  However, as professional, it is our obligation to represent our clients with sensitivity and compassion and all the while, achieve desired results.  Specifically, matrimonial problems create anxiety, confusion, and disillusionment.  M&A attempts to diffuse this highly emotional experience, by providing you with an objective point of view – empathetic with your frustration, yet respectful of your rights, and fair-share.  We provide an advocacy which considers your best financial, emotional, and physical interests.  We help you to reorient to your new lifestyle.  Our clients also include those interested in adoption, custody, paternity, nuptial agreements, and various other domestic matters.
