Divorce
Guardianship
The Executor handles the administration of the estate. Paying taxes, filing the forms, and making sure the beneficiaries receive their inheritance. When there is a guardianship or trust, the Executor distributes to those persons for the beneficiary.

Criminal Defense
Criminal law litigation is generally defense of an accused criminal. The difference for these types of cases is that the plaintiff is the government, usually the District Attorney or Attorney General. The assessment is whether there is any incarceration (jail time), fines, etc. Our firm does not accept these cases.
Kidnapping
Trade secret protection originated in the first century when the definition of "kidnapping" was expanded to encompass the pirating of literary works. Throughout ancient history, the law strictly curtailed the dissemination of trade secrets. During the Middle Ages, the guild systems evolved, under which only guild members were entrusted with trade secrets. By the seventeenth century, statutory protection for some types of intellectual property had begun to develop. In the United States, trade secret protection arose from the common law, rather than constitutional or statutory regulation. While there is disagreement as to whether trade secret protection actually evolved from the law of confidential relationships or from more basic property law principles, most courts will not allow parties to "reap where they have not sown."

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
No. Remember that fictitious name filings and incorporations are performed at the state level only. Even if you could afford to maintain a yearly filing in every state, you would still not be immune from trademark problems. For example, consider the following situation: A company incorporates as PlumbingTech Service, Inc., and provides the service of computerizing home plumbing. Another company incorporates as AllTek Corp., and one of many services it offers is its PlumbingTech Service, which is also to computerize home plumbing. Clearly, the reputations of the two companies would be confused by the consuming public. Thus, even though both companies are properly doing business from the Corporation Bureau's perspective, there are obvious trademark problems. This is the #1 mistake made by non-lawyers (including non-lawyer professionals) who try to perform legal work when they perform company setups. We have been retained by far too many clients who thought they were protected because they were permitted to incorporate at the state level. The best non-lawyer professionals will refer you to competent legal counsel.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Mr. Zegarelli practices in transactional areas of law. Representation includes entrepreneurial ventures, commercial and corporate litigation, venture capital, franchising, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, wealth-transfer and succession planning, licensing of technology and information, employee and independent contractor agreements, and intellectual property matters such as copyright, social media, trade secret and trademark law.
Business Disputes
Pick the right attorneys. Attorneys are advisors. The job of an attorney is to advise you. In business law, you need attorneys who know and understand business. But, even so, your attorneys should not be telling you how to run your business, but advising you of possibilities and probabilities of legal problems as it relates to business implementations. Quite frankly, we have clients that have proceeded with business transactions amidst great risk, but have been extremely successful. Our best clients will work with us to develop business plans to minimize risk and maximize reward, and after developing the strategy and potential implementation, assess the situation and proceed in their best business judgment. All deals have risks, you need an attorney who can clearly explain the resultant risks and help you resolve to a firm conclusion and plan.
Business Transactions
We regularly assist clients with structuring business transactions around tax-related issues. In fact, we often work with accountants to properly setup client organizations.
Limited Liability Companies
Limited liability companies should be viewed as a partnership for taxation purposes, and as a corporation for liability purposes. Limited liability companies are permitted to be created in almost every state in the United States. They are a relatively new type of legal entity, gaining widespread acceptance in the last 10 years.
Trade Secrets
Trade secret protection, unlike copyright and patents, can extend to ideas, algorithms and procedures. Therefore, trade secret protection is a very important method of protecting aspects of computer software not otherwise protectible by copyright or patent. Copyright protects the author from illegal copying of a creative work. A trade secret protects only unauthorized use when done in violation of a confidential relationship whether implied or expressed in contract.
Intellectual Property
). Mr. Zegarelli also was interviewed by on TBC Today regarding entrepreneurism and the qualities of an entrepreneur and has appeared on Suzanne Caplan's WMNY Pittsburgh Business Radio 1360 AM (simulcast on Talkshoe) discussing intellectual property issues and corporate ethics. He was a panelist with a group of social media gurus, The Social Media Balancing Act.
Unfair Competition
Trade secret cases often involve multiple pleading that include contract law, quasi-contract law, unjust enrichment, tort and conversion law, unfair competition and confidential relationships. In many states, it is a crime if a person...

Employment Litigation
• Business representation, including corporations, partnerships, proprietorships, formations, mergers and acquisitions, raising capital, franchising, and employment issues. We have excellent associations with a number of support businesses to assist you, such as accountants, insurance companies and venture capital firms. Our client base can be a networking opportunity itself.

Real Estate Transactions
In a real estate transaction, there is a buyer and a seller. Usually the seller has a broker and agent. The advantage for the seller is that the property will be "multi-listed" meaning that the opportunity will be centrally identified in listings that are jointly managed by most or all real estate brokerages. Commissions are negotiable, and so is the term of the listing agreement.

Personal Injury
Commercial litigation is often the result of performance problems from a contractual relationship. Three important points: is there insurance to cover the problem, are attorneys fees available and are there violations of a statute. Usually, unlike personal injury litigation, commercial litigation is performed on an hourly basis. Often there is no insurance coverage in commercial litigation. Also, many people do not realize that attorneys' fees are not recoverable unless provided for in any applicable contract or permitted by statute. As a result, parties must often asses the case in the context of the cost to litigate. Our firm regularly handles commercial litigation, such as breach of contract, trademark violations, employee issues, real estate issues, etc.

Trusts and Estates

Wills
The Last Will and Testament applies when you have passed. It specifies to whom you want your assets to be distributed. There is an underlying premise for Wills that many people do not realize: a Will is only applicable to the extent that the legal title to the asset would not otherwise specify to whom the asset should be distributed. Thus...
Power of Attorney
The Power of Attorney applies when you are alive. However, you are physically and/or mentally incapacitated and you need someone to handle your affairs. If a power of attorney continued to apply even if you are mentally incapacitated, it is called a "durable" power of attorney. If the power of attorney does not become effective until certain events occur, such as determination of incapacity by an attending physician, then it is called a "springing" power of attorney. Thus, a power of attorney that is signed today, but not enforceable by the person receiving the power to act (the "attorney-in-fact") until three physicians certify mental incapacity, then that power of attorney would be a durable springing power of attorney. Also, powers of attorney can be special or general. A special power of attorney gives power to do a specific thing, like manage one parcel of real estate, a general power gives power to act in a person's entire stead.

Bankruptcy
Tax Law
The primary disadvantage of a proprietorship is that it does not afford the owner limited liability to third parties. The law regards a proprietorship as having the same legal identity as the proprietor. Therefore, if a proprietorship is sued, the owner will have to satisfy any judgment with personal assets such as a home, automobile and bank account. Another significant disadvantage of the sole proprietorship is that it is generally not regarded as the best tax-planning entity. For example, a sole proprietorship must adopt the same taxable year as its sole proprietor. Furthermore, since proprietorship income is taxed directly to the sole proprietor, income tax planning involving the "two pockets" theory of income splitting is not available to a sole proprietorship.
