Bruce E. Bailey
I also counsel clients on the formation and operation of closely held businesses, corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships. Such advice involves preparation of shareholder/owner agreements, buy-sell agreements, employment and compensation agreements, and business sales and acquisitions.
I currently serve as the Law Director for the City of Westerville and provide counsel to other municipal clients as well on a variety of topics.
My wife and I reside in Westerville, Ohio, and have three children. I am a member of the Westerville Sunrise Rotary and involved with many associations and activities within the city of Westerville.
