Firm Profile

Established in 1994 as Larson & Perkins, P.L.L.C., in order to provide a wider range of services, the firm merged forces with James S. Berg, PLLC to become Larson Berg & Perkins PLLC, in July of 2006. Larson Berg & Perkins offers a full range of services to our business and individual clients to help solve problems that arise efficiently and effectively, and more importantly, to help clients avoid missteps that might result in costly litigation.

Providing exceptional representation in all areas of commercial law and civil litigation, the firm's business law practice provides personal representation to all sizes of business clients in areas including entity formation, contracts, employment law, business planning, mergers and acquisitions, and tax planning.

Complementing the business practice, we offer services to our clients in the areas of health care law, agriculture law, estate planning, real estate, creditor rights, insurance claims, and personal matters that may arise, such as divorce or bankruptcy.

When disputes arise, it is the firm's goal to resolve them efficiently and profitably for the client. That is why, in addition to providing exceptional litigation and negotiation skills, the firm's attorneys are also well versed in resolving disputes through arbitration and other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.

Practice Areas

Commercial Law and Civil Litigation

At Larson Berg & Perkins, Commercial Law and Litigation are at the core of our practice. The firm's attorneys are skilled negotiators and litigators, helping clients in all kinds of commercial transactions, litigation in state and federal court, mediation, and arbitration.

The firm's emphasis on a relationship-based practice puts us in a particularly good position to assess each client's issue as it arises and determine whether a negotiated settlement, arbitration, or some other form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) would be a more efficient way to resolve the dispute efficiently and profitably.

Business Law

Larson Berg & Perkins provides our large and small business clients with a complete range of legal services, including entity formation, ownership structure, contracts, employment law, business planning, mergers and acquisitions, tax planning, real estate, estate planning, and some personal injury representation.

The firm seeks to develop long-standing relationships with our business clients so we can be there when problems arise and, ideally, help clients avoid disputes in the first place.

Employment Law

Overlapping with both business planning and litigation, our employment law practice is both preventative and problem-solving based. Larson Berg & Perkins can assist clients in drafting employment contracts, policies, and handbooks, as well as in reviews and termination. We also represent employers and employees in litigation claims of breach of contract, wrongful discharge, and discrimination.

Health Care Law

In conjunction with our business law practice, Larson Berg & Perkins provides individual physicians as well as large group practice organizations with a complete range of health care services, including regulatory compliance with Stark II, HIPAA, and federal and state Anti-Kickback statues.

Agricultural Law

Larson Berg & Perkins' Agricultural Law practice offers legal expertise in this increasingly complex area, including advising clients on land use, environmental rules and regulations, the use of food products, state and federal regulations, intellectual property issues, trade, and other commercial issues.

Estate Law and Litigation

Good estate planning can mean the difference between your business continuing into the next generation or ceasing operation. Larson Berg & Perkins helps our individual and business clients navigate a variety of legal issues including estates and trusts, drafting simple and complex wills, probate, tax planning, family succession plans, powers of attorney, and related real estate transactions. We also have experience assisting clients in probate and estate litigation, including upholding or negating wills.

Real Estate

Larson Berg & Perkins offers a full range of real estate services to our business and individual clients. The firm helps clients navigate the nuances of complex commercial and residential leases and sales, home closings, real estate loans, mortgage refinancing, and other commercial real estate ventures.

Insurance Claims

Larson Berg & Perkins has substantial experience helping clients pursue insurance claims including preparing statements of loss, filing claims and all the necessary supporting documentation with the insurance company, negotiating on our clients' behalf and pursuing unpaid claims through litigation, arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms.

Creditor Rights

If an individual or company that owes you money goes bankrupt, you may have rights as a creditor in the bankruptcy proceeding. Larson Berg & Perkins can help you assess your potential right to recovery, assert your claim, and obtain the maximum possible payment from the bankruptcy estate.
