At Semanie Law, we are obsessed with fueling your business. We believe that our success is inextricably tied to the achievement of your business goals. As a result, we don’t sit back and wait to react to legal issues after they have become problems. Instead, we strive to add value to your business by identifying legal trends before they impact you, turning that knowledge into actionable insights, and proactively providing you with those insights to help you make practical decisions about your business.

Some of our primary practice areas include:
– Corporate and Commercial Law
– Mergers and Acquisitions
– Business Litigation
– Motor Vehicle Dealer Representation
– Data and Technology
– General Counsel Services
– Commercial Real Estate

Here are just a few of the qualities that set us apart:

Results-Oriented Approach: We all know that being busy is not the same thing as being productive. That is why we focus solely on your specific goals when we develop a legal strategy, and then we eliminate actions that do not move us closer to those goals. In that way, we can deliver the results that matter most to you without incurring unnecessary expenses along the way.

Dependable Responsiveness: Your legal matters should never be placed on the back burner. We understand that time is of the essence in the business world, so we strive to provide an exceptional client experience that includes prompt communications and exceptional responsiveness.

Relentless Advocacy: We are fierce advocates for your interests. We believe in working with you to fully understand your goals first, and then we fight tirelessly to help you achieve those goals.

Deep Industry Expertise: We boast extensive experience in representing motor vehicle dealers in dealership buy-sells, manufacturer and DMV disputes, and much more. We understand the intricacies of the auto dealer industry, and that understanding allows us to anticipate potential legal issues before they become a problem and to better represent our dealer clients.

Technology-Enabled Solutions: We leverage innovative legal technology and data analytics to better represent our clients. Our online “client portal” allows you to obtain anywhere-anytime status updates on your deal or litigation file, view upcoming deadlines and events, and securely communicate with counsel in one accessible channel, so you can easily review prior communications without having to sift through your entire email box, text messages, or call log.

Efficient Alternative Fees Structures: We have also adopted a number of alternative fee structures and billing options to give clients greater predictability of their legal costs and to better reflect the value provided to the client.  With different options available for different types of matters, it is likely that one of our alternative structures may be right for you.
