Business Law

Business law refers to the laws that apply to business entities, such as partnerships and corporations. It is a branch of law affecting topics that impact the operation of a small business. As a point of distinction, “Corporate Law” typically refers to areas of law affecting large publically traded companies. However, as a small business owner you are required to follow many of the same regulations as large corporations. Even if you’re starting out on a small level, its best to start out with the foundation in place to expand. It is imperative that you comply with all business laws and regulations from the day you open for business.
Whether you are just starting out, or planning on taking your business to the next level, let our team of legal representatives guide you through the many difficult legal scenarios you may encounter in order to help figure out what is best for you.

Title Agent / Settlement Agent / Escrow Agent

Simply said: We do Closings.  But there is a lot more to it than that.  We are attorneys, authorized title insurance agents for the top three title insurance companies in Tennessee, and we have handled literally thousands of real estate transactions and loan closings in various positions; as the settlement agent for the whole transaction, or as representative of just one party.   We have also acted as just lender’s counsel, or as a third party escrow agent for contentious parties.

Title Opinion Letters and Title Work

We regularly do title work and provide opinions or policies to Lenders and/or prospective buyers during due diligence, investors purchasing loans, or simply as part of a closing transaction. We can provide title work to closings done in house by a lender or third parties as well. We can provide a volume discount on future title work if we have a commitment for an anticipated volume of work.

Real Estate Closings: Residential & Commercial

McCann & Hubbard has been representing buyers, sellers, and lenders in real estate closings for years.  We are an independent title agent and often work as a facilitator, an unbiased and non-obligated administrator to the transaction; handling both the buyer’s and the seller’s sides of the transaction (everyone closing at the same location offers convenience and a seamless transaction).  Or we can represent one party to a transaction, working solely to protect that party’s rights.  We are comfortable in either position.  We also frequently assist in negotiating compromises to issues arising between parties.  Our best value is the fact that we have the deep experience to see potential problems or issues before they become major problems or issues, and to resolve those matters – often without anyone even realizing what problem solving we have done behind the scenes.  Because of all the above, we are thankful to have had much repeat business from many satisfied clients and their friends and family.
