Firm Values

Our Business Law Firm Values:

Respect for Our Clients

Our business lawyers respect their clients.

There are few higher compliments than to be considered a successful, honest business person. Business success and skill are attributes deserving of respect. JGPC business lawyers and staff appreciate business and management skills and respect those qualities in all good businessmen and businesswomen.
Each JGPC business attorney appreciates the fact that a good businessman or businesswoman knows their business better than we ever will, and that it is only by working together with our business clients that we can combine our expertise with their business knowledge to create the best and most cost-effective legal solution to a business issue.

There is no substitute for common sense. Some people have it, some people don’t. Some lawyers have it, some lawyers don’t.

JGPC business lawyers have common sense.
They may have earned it the hard way, from years of experience and trial and error, but they have learned that all business law work must make sense in the real world, on the street, or it is a waste of the lawyer’s time and the client’s money.

Businesses require practical, cost-effective solutions.

JGPC business lawyers know that every dollar that goes to pay an attorney comes out of the business owner’s pocket. All legal work must be practical, efficient and cost-effective. We understand that our business clients are in business to make money, not to enrich their lawyers.
Specialization, experience, common sense and, when necessary, creative approaches to business law work enable JGPC business lawyers to maximize their productivity and cost-effectiveness.

JGPC’s Pleasanton business lawyers are experienced business attorneys.

There is nothing like experience to give a person perspective and wisdom in dealing with life’s issues. The same is true in the practice of business law. JGPC attorneys all have years of business law experience supporting every business law decision they make.
The hardest part in the practice of business law, as with life in general, is knowing what to do and when and how to do it. Our lawyers’ extensive business law experience helps ensure that our clients make the best possible business law decisions, for today and tomorrow.

Specialization is the key to competence and efficiency.

JGPC’s business lawyers specialize in business law. They have years of experience in assisting privately held businesses and business owners, entrepreneurs, investors, managers, executives and buyers in planning for and creating business start-ups, supporting emerging growth companies, assisting businesses in avoiding legal problems and disputes and resolving business problems and disputes in a cost-effective manner when such issues can not be avoided.

JGPC business attorneys value creativity.

In business, as in most areas of life, simplicity is usually best. But there are times when the usual “simple solution” just will not work.
JGPC business attorneys can, when necessary, create original and unique solutions for business law issues.
Sometimes the usual, standard legal approaches will just not get the job done, at least not in a cost-effective manner. It takes an experienced business law specialist to know when creative approaches to a business law issue can be productive. And it takes a talented and creative experienced business law specialist to create original and unique solutions for business law problems.
JGPC business lawyers have the intellectual strength, academic background, and comprehensive understanding of complex areas of business law that are necessary to enable us to create original and unique cost-effective solutions for business law problems.
