Law Offices of Troy Sutton

The Law Offices of Troy Sutton provides legal services to individuals, families, small businesses, HOAs, corporations, and non-profit organizations. I enjoy helping clients anticipate, avoid, and solve legal problems by finding practical solutions to complex legal issues in the most cost-effective manner.

Operating with the core values of honesty, reliability, and integrity, I continually strive to provide clients with clear, respectful, timely communication, and high-quality, reliable advice. I present my clients with solid information so they can make well informed business decisions.

Matters are handled on an hourly basis and all fees are reasonable.

Contracts - Facilitating Profitable Business Transactions

Although, many contracts are simple and straight forward, the more important agreements tend to be more complicated.  No contract can anticipate every possibility; and those documents that try are unwieldy, unreasonably expensive, and rarely successful.  I have extensive experience with unique cases that do not have a simple solution.  

Drawing on a broad background of practical experience and legal training, I provide sound, objective advice in identifying potential problems, opportunities, and suggested strategies for moving forward.

I have experience drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and producing for final execution a wide range of transactional documents, including:

• music recording, publishing, licensing, and performance contracts;
• commercial real estate sales, leasing, and financing agreements;
• strategic partnerships;
• consulting services and non-disclosure agreements​;
• IP and technology licensing agreements;
• sourcing and supply agreements;
• real estate development agreements and construction contracts;
• shareholder transactions and corporate buyouts.

Real Estate

For both buyers and sellers, I have reviewed, revised, and produced for execution final documents related to all phases of complex real estate transactions both commercial and residential, including complex title correction issues, multipart loan transactions, and a variety of purchase and sale agreements, leases and subleases.

Labor & Employment Law

I counsel clients with respect to developing policies and practices to prevent employment discrimination and harassment, and ensure compliance with workers' compensation laws and OSHA related preventive practices.

I review, revise, and produce for final execution standard form contracts with language to comply with government regulations such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, Davis Bacon Act, Walsh-Healey Act, Service Contract Act and other federal and state wage and hour laws and regulations.

Litigation

Cases rarely end happy when a dispute ends up in court.  Litigation can be exorbitantly expensive and the emotional price is equally damaging.

I am not a litigator. However, I do have courtroom experience at the trial level in both small neighbor disputes and large multi-million dollar complex, multi-party cases.  I have also successfully settled a variety of disputes through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes like mediation and arbitration. 

I prefer to work diligently with clients early in the formation of business relationships to eliminate contractual misunderstandings before they happen.

When disputes do arise, I help my clients with a realistic overview of both sides of the dispute, an estimate of the cost of moving forward, and the likely outcome.
