Business Law Attorneys in Long Beach — One Firm, From Formation to Litigation
Most small businesses need a lawyer twice — once to get started, and again if something goes wrong. We're built to be the same firm both times.
Potier Law Group is a business law firm based in Long Beach, California, representing small business owners and entrepreneurs throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. The firm handles business formation and business litigation and contract disputes — and is one firm for both, meaning the same attorney who helps form or document a business can also represent it if a dispute arises later.
You'll hear back from an attorney — not an assistant — the same day.
Business Experience Behind the Legal Advice
Potier Law Group is a team of attorneys who understand that business law involves more than contracts and legal documents. It involves protecting the company you've built, managing risk, resolving disputes, and making decisions that support your long-term goals.
Founding attorney Amanda Potier brings firsthand business ownership experience to the firm, having owned and operated a real estate company before practicing law. That practical perspective complements the experience of the firm's attorneys as they help clients form businesses, navigate contracts and transactions, address disputes, and protect their business interests.

Common Questions About Business Law in California
Should I form an LLC or a corporation in California?
The right business structure depends on factors such as your business model, ownership, liability concerns, and tax considerations. We help you compare your options and choose a structure based on your specific circumstances rather than taking the same approach with every business.
Does Potier Law Group handle business formation and business disputes?
Yes. We help clients form businesses and represent business owners when contract, partnership, or other disputes arise. In many cases, the same attorney who assisted with the business at the outset can continue working with the client when a legal issue develops later.
What can I do if a business partner or vendor breaches an agreement?
Your options depend on the agreement, the nature of the breach, and the impact on your business. We handle contract, partnership, and related business disputes with an initial focus on finding a practical resolution that allows the business to keep moving. When a reasonable resolution cannot be reached, we can pursue the matter through litigation.
Can the attorney who forms my business also represent it in a lawsuit?
In many situations, yes. Potier Law Group handles both business formation and business litigation, allowing clients to continue working with a firm already familiar with their business and its agreements if a dispute develops.
How quickly can I speak with a business attorney at Potier Law Group?
We respond the same day. Whether you call our Long Beach office, send an email, or submit the contact form, your inquiry receives the same prompt attention.
