The Law Office of Rick Unger, in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, was established in 1995 to serve the transactional and counseling needs of business people, businesses and sophisticated individuals, primarily in the Philadelphia region. Rick Unger practiced for 18 years as an Associate, and then Partner, with one of Philadelphia's largest firms, Duane, Morris & Heckscher, before establishing his own practice. About sixty percent of his practice is business counseling and transactional work, the remainder being real estate transactions. He works closely with the trusts and estates firm of Heckscher, Teillon, Terrill & Sager, also in West Conshohocken, handling business and real estate issues arising out of estate planning and the administration of estates. The Law Office of Rick Unger handles matters including:

  • Business Formation
  • Business Transactions
  • Real Estate Transactions

It is essential for a successful business to have a trusting long-term relationship with an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. Having superior legal advice and accurate execution of business transactions can distinguish a profitable venture from a failing one. Rick Unger is a Pennsylvania business lawyer who can provide this superior legal advice from incorporation to dissolution and any business issue in between. Our law office represents closely held businesses and offers personal attention and service. Our firm has extensive experience in counseling clients regarding initial business formation, drafting business agreements, business purchases and sales, residential and commercial leases, and executing business contracts. Whether you are considering starting a new business, entering into new business agreements, or purchasing or selling an existing business, having a business lawyer that understands you and your business's needs and goals is crucial.

Additionally, our law office has extensive experience in handling real estate transactions.
