About Tamarisk Legal Advisors PLLC

Based in Grand Rapids Township, we help businesses with a broad scope of legal matters. One of the ways we help is by offering business checkups.


Is it time for a business checkup? 

Just like going to the doctor for a health checkup, there are different reasons for getting a business checkup. Perhaps you've never had a checkup before. Or you're due for your annual checkup. Or there is some triggering event that is motivating you to get a checkup. Whatever the reason, we're here for you. 

How healthy is your business?

Unhealthy people often refuse to see a doctor. At the other end of the extreme, professional athletes are surrounded by health professionals. This begs the question: how important is it for your business to be healthy? 

Business Checkup Packages

Choose from three different packages, based on your needs and budget. We don't like surprises. And neither do you. All of our packages are offered at fixed prices so that there are no surprises. 

Contract Review Package $1,200

The contract review package consists of a review of your sales contracts, subcontractor agreements, employment agreements, etc. Contract review is an important maintenance item that is often ignored. Contact us for complete details. 

Entity Review Package $2,400

The entity review package consists of a review of your entity status, entity structure, articles of organization, operating agreements, bylaws, buy-sell agreements, etc. Entity review is critical during succession planning and for many other purposes. Contact us for complete details. 

Comprehensive Review Package $4,800

The comprehensive review package consists of your contracts, entities, partnership agreements, succession plan, estate plan, real estate holdings, insurance, etc. This is designed to be a holistic analysis of your business and related items. Contact us for complete details. 

Your Business Attorney

In addition to retaining us for a business checkup, we will be your business attorney. Whatever your legal needs are, we will be there to support you.
