Our Legal Focus

We offer a range of legal services, with particular emphasis on business formations and counseling, intellectual property, and real estate transactions.

Intellectual Property (Patent, Trademark, Copyright)

We can assist you with any concerns you have regarding how best to protect your inventions, brand identity, or creative works. We can prepare and prosecute an application for a utility or design patent, register your trade mark, or counsel you regarding your rights and remedies if you believe someone is infringing your intellectual property rights.

Jerod Tufte is licensed to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and has significant experience working with some of the country’s leading attorneys in advising top technology corporations regarding intellectual property matters. We counsel inventors and small businesses to protect their ideas, develop them into marketable products, and launch their business around that product.

Business Counseling

Whether you are already in business or or forming a new business, we can advise you on business structures, contracts and licenses, and other issues you may face in your business operations.

Jerod Tufte has advised many businesses, including significant work for BEK Communications Cooperative, in matters relating to conducting corporate operations, negotiating agreements, and formation of corporations and LLCs.

Real Estate

If you are buying or selling real estate and need assistance with structuring or completing the transaction, we can help you with agricultural and commercial lease agreements, purchase agreements, deeds, and other real estate contracts.

Other Areas

We strive to be a full-service law office. In this day and age, no one lawyer can be an expert in all areas of concern and we are not able to accept every matter presented to us. If your concern is not in one of the categories above, please contact us and if we are not the right law office to help you with your problem, we will refer you to one of our trusted colleagues who can help you.
