Aksarben and Midtown Omaha Law Firm for Growing Companies

Aksarben and Midtown Omaha Law Firm for Growing Companies Spell Nebraska backward and you get Aksarben, the name of the former racetrack grounds near 67th and Center Street that now hold one of Omaha's most active mixed-use districts. Aksarben Village combines corporate offices, apartments, restaurants and the University of Nebraska at Omaha's Baxter Arena, and a few miles northeast, Midtown Crossing and the Blackstone District along Farnam Street have become home to young companies, creative agencies and local restaurants. For the growing businesses in these neighborhoods, Erickson | Sederstrom P.C., L.L.O. offers the kind of full-service support that trusted law firm a law firm in Omaha founded in 1967 has had decades to refine. Growth tends to follow a pattern, and the firm's corporate practice is built around it. Founders start with business formation and entity selection, then need operating agreements and corporate governance that hold up as new investors arrive. Capital formation, private equity and securities questions come next for companies raising money, followed by franchising and distribution agreements for those expanding into new markets. Eventually there may be a merger, an acquisition or a transition plan. Best Lawyers honoree Virgil K. Johnson has been recognized for corporate law, and William T. Foley for commercial litigation and corporate work, which reflects the depth of the practice. Tech and creative companies in these districts also rely on the firm's intellectual property practice, which covers IP protection, software and technology licensing, technology company acquisitions and electronic transactions. As headcount grows, so do employment questions. The firm's employment attorneys, who mainly advise and defend employers, help with employee handbooks, executive employment agreements, trade secret protection, non-compete agreements and wage and hour compliance. They also keep clients current on Nebraska changes, such as the minimum wage updates in LB 258 and the Nebraska WARN Act notice requirements in LB 921.

Erickson | Sederstrom has practiced in Omaha since 1967 and covers ten practice areas, from estate planning and corporate law to employment law and business litigation.

Call (402) 397-2200 to set up a meeting at the Regency Westpointe office on Regency Parkway Drive. The Omaha office is open Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. What are red flags when hiring a lawyer? Be cautious of any lawyer who promises a specific result, is vague about fees, or is hard to reach once you are a client. Charles V. Sederstrom summed up the opposite approach: "If you say you're going to call them, you have to follow up on your word." Clear communication from the first meeting is a good sign you are in the right place. What should I look for in a larger Omaha law firm?

Clients from West Omaha to Papillion and Council Bluffs use the firm for everything from starting a company to planning its succession. When should an Omaha business hire a corporate lawyer? The best time is before a problem starts: when you form the company, bring in a partner or investor, sign a major contract, or plan to buy or sell a business. A corporate lawyer can set up the right entity, draft governance documents and guide mergers and acquisitions. Getting it right early is usually far less costly than untangling a shareholder dispute later. Do I need an estate planning attorney in Nebraska? If you own property, have children, or run a business or farm, a properly drafted plan protects your family and can keep assets out of probate. Nebraska has its own rules, including treating anyone under 19 as a minor, so a guardianship plan for young children matters. The firm's estate planning attorneys prepare wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney and health care directives. How long does probate take in Nebraska? Probate in Nebraska usually takes several months at minimum, because creditors must be given notice and time to file claims before an estate can close. Contested matters or complex assets can stretch that much longer. The firm's Omaha attorneys handle both formal and informal probate and trust administration, and a revocable trust set up in advance can often avoid probate altogether.

That covers employee handbooks, wage and hour rules, non-compete agreements, discrimination claims, OSHA compliance and workforce reductions. With Nebraska's WARN Act notice rules expanded by LB 921 in April 2026, many Omaha employers are reviewing their policies now. What is business litigation? Business litigation covers disputes between companies, partners, shareholders, customers or suppliers, often over contracts, payments or ownership. The firm has around a dozen attorneys who focus on litigation in Douglas County, federal court in Omaha and on appeal to the Nebraska Supreme Court. Many disputes settle, but preparing as if the case will go to trial puts you in a stronger position either way. Can an Omaha law firm help with matters in Iowa?
