Business Services

Caldwell Law helps Nebraska clients start businesses or protect their interests by representing them as creditors in collection efforts, filing a lawsuit to enforce a contract, or in the bankruptcy court.

Business Formation

The choice of which type of business entity should be used depends upon the type of Nebraska business it will be (service, retail, etc.) and the goals its owners hold. If the goal is to attain limited liability among the owners, then a Nebraska limited liability company or incorporation may be the best choice. If a simple structure and minimal costs are the goal, a partnership or sole proprietorship may be the better option.

Caldwell Law will be able to help you or the group of owners determine the best option and formulate the proper documents to create the entity. Contact the office to begin the process of creating your new business.

Collections

Caldwell Law is able to help businesses collect on debts owed. We don’t consider ourselves a collection agency. We won’t harass your customers with endless phone calls or collection notices. Your debtors receive one request for payment and then we proceed to attaining a court judgment. At that point, we try to collect on the judgment through execution of property or garnishment.

Contact Caldwell Law to begin the process of collecting debt you thought was lost for good.

Litigation

Caldwell Law does litigation on behalf of business clients for a variety of cases. In most instances, this is for enforcement of an agreement or contract. We also help Nebraska landlords in eviction cases.

With regard to most Nebraska cases, there is a statute of limitations involved. You should contact an attorney as soon as you believe something has occurred to review your situation and make sure that the statute of limitations doesn’t run and bar you from a positive conclusion.

Creditor in Bankruptcy Case

Caldwell Law is known mostly for representation of Nebraska debtors in bankruptcy cases, however, we also represent creditors on occasion. Who better to understand the intricacies of the bankruptcy process than a Nebraska bankruptcy attorney? We represent creditors throughout the bankruptcy process. Whether it be making sure a businesses debt is correctly applied by filing a Proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court, whether a security interest is enforced, filing the requirements to have the automatic stay lifted, or determining whether an objection to a Nebraska bankruptcy filing is necessary through an adversary proceeding, Caldwell Law can handle all of these scenarios.

If you are a creditor of a Nebraska debtor, you should receive notice of a bankruptcy filing by the Court. Even if you hear about the debtor’s bankruptcy, it puts the business on notice that a bankruptcy was filed. Certain filing deadlines must be met or the business is barred from enforcing its claims. You should contact Caldwell Law as soon as you believe a bankruptcy case is imminent, believe a bankruptcy case has been filed or receive a notice of bankruptcy filing from the Court. We will be able to assess the situation and formulate a plan to represent your interests to the fullest.
