TERI RASMUSSEN

I provide focused pragmatic legal counsel and advice to privately held businesses and their owners concerning the wide range of legal issues they must address, including relationships among owners, leasing, contracts, financing, etc. I also represent banks and other creditors with respect to enforcing their rights against borrowers in default. To learn more about my approach with clients, visit my Ohio Practical Business Law blog and click "About This Blog and My Approach to Lawyering".

I concentrate my personal law practice on matters such as:

Creditors’ Rights
Business Insolvency, Turnarounds/Workouts, and Bankruptcy
Loan Documentation, Structuring and Negotiation
Commercial Collections
Business Acquisitions, Mergers, and Sales
Business Formation
Debt and Equity Financing
Contract Review, Negotiation, and Preparation
Commercial Litigation
Real Estate Purchase/Leasing
Franchise Law

I try not to make decisions for my clients because they - not I - are the ones who ultimately have to live with the consequences of the decision. At the same time, I also listen carefully to what a client is really saying about what they actually want to achive. My goal is always to do the best I can to explain the available options and consequences -- based on what the client wants to accomplish -- so that they really can make legally informed business and personal decisions.
