25+ Years in Business Law | Hundreds of Ohio Clients | $0 to $10M+ in Client Growth | Startup to Successful Exit
You didn’t get this far by playing it safe. But one wrong move can cost you everything.
Most business owners don’t call a lawyer until something goes sideways. By then, the damage is already done. We help Ohio business owners stop problems before they start. And when things do go wrong, we get in the room and fix them.
Partner & Owner Disputes
Building a business with a partner is great until you’re no longer on the same page. The operating agreement is a mess. And you do not know what your options are.
We help you understand exactly where you stand and what to do next.
Employee & Team Problems
Someone on your team is threatening a lawsuit. A non-compete is being violated. A situation came up that could blow up into something serious.
We help you handle it fast, before it turns into something you cannot recover from.
Vendor, Debt & Money Pressure
The IRS sent a letter. A vendor is coming after you for money you do not have. Cash flow is tight and the pressure is real.
We get in front of it. We negotiate, we strategize, and we help you find a path forward.
Built on hard work. Driven by results.
THE IAN HEYMAN DIFFERENCE
We don't just represent businesses.We build them.
Most attorneys learn about business from a textbook. Ian learned it the hard way. He has started companies from scratch. He has sat across the table from investors, vendors, and partners in every situation you can imagine. He has felt the pressure of making payroll, landing a big client, and figuring out what comes next. That experience does not stay in the past. It shows up every time he sits down with a client.
When you work with us, you get more than legal support. You get someone who understands what you are building, why it matters, and what it takes to protect it. Someone who will tell you the truth, help you think through the hard decisions, and be there for the long haul.
When Ohio business owners start working with us, they do not just get an attorney. They get legal support and real business guidance for the life of their business.
Whatever stage you are at, we have been there before.

Ready to make it official? We handle everything so your business is set up the right way from day one. Your house, your savings, and your personal assets stay protected.
Protecting Your Business

Selling Your Business
When the time is right, you want to walk away with everything you worked for. We have helped Ohio businesses go from zero to a successful exit. We make sure the finish line looks as good as the start.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Real estate training company
From inception to over $10 million in annual revenue.
Started with nothing but an idea. Over the course of 10 years we helped this client build a team of 30, navigate HR crises, set up affiliate deals, and grow to over $10 million in annual revenue.
Trucking and logistics operator
Creating a structure built for growth.
Came to us with one truck and one employee. Left with three separate business entities, custom leasing contracts, and a structure built to expand. He did not just grow. He built something he could actually own.
Business in vendor crisis
Navigating vendor negotiations and investor contracts.
Owed $160,000 to a vendor threatening a lawsuit. We got to the table, stopped the legal action, and bought the business four months of breathing room. That time was enough to find new investors, activate new contracts, and turn a crisis into a comeback.
“If there's 10 stars, I will mark it 10 stars no questions. He will process all the problems with his BEST knowledge and with his Big Heart. Any Legal move I make, will discuss with Mr. Heyman and he will be there for you 100%. He earned My Trust 110%.Thanks, Ian.”
