Running a business in North Mississippi means dealing with legal questions that don’t wait for convenient moments. A contract needs review before you can close a deal. A regulatory filing has a deadline. A dispute with a vendor is threatening a relationship you’ve spent years building. You need an attorney who understands how businesses actually operate, not just how they work on paper.

At Tollison & Webb P.A., Taylor H. Webb brings something most business attorneys in this region cannot offer: direct experience as a business owner. Taylor owns and operates Circle & Square Brewing Company in Oxford, navigating the full spectrum of business compliance firsthand, including ABC licensing, health department regulations, food service permits, employment matters, and vendor contracts. That experience informs how he advises business clients across North Mississippi, from startups working through formation to established companies managing ongoing legal needs.

We represent businesses of all sizes throughout North Mississippi in formation, contract matters, commercial disputes, and regulatory compliance. We understand that legal work for a business is not an end in itself. It exists to protect what you’ve built and help you grow.

Business Legal Services We Provide

Business Formation

Choosing the right structure for your business has legal and financial consequences that follow you for the life of the company. We advise clients on entity selection, including LLC, corporation, partnership, and sole proprietorship, and handle the formation documents, operating agreements, bylaws, and initial compliance filings that establish your business on solid legal ground. We also advise on registered agent requirements, member and shareholder agreements, and the ongoing compliance obligations that come with each entity type.

Commercial Litigation

Business disputes are an unavoidable reality of commerce. When a contract is breached, a business relationship breaks down, or another party causes harm to your company, you need an attorney who will pursue your interests aggressively and efficiently. We handle commercial litigation in state and federal court throughout North Mississippi, representing businesses in breach of contract claims, partnership and ownership disputes, collections, and other business-related matters.

Contract Drafting & Review

Most business problems that end up in litigation started as contract problems. Vague language, missing terms, and one-sided provisions that seemed acceptable at signing become expensive disputes when a relationship goes sideways. We draft and review business contracts with an eye toward clarity and protection, including vendor agreements, service contracts, partnership agreements, NDAs, and employment contracts. If you are signing something that binds your business, having it reviewed first is almost always less expensive than resolving a dispute after the fact.

Regulatory Compliance & Permitting

Businesses operating in regulated industries face a constant compliance burden that can be difficult to navigate without experienced legal guidance. Taylor Webb’s direct experience operating a licensed brewery in Mississippi gives him a working understanding of the regulatory landscape for hospitality businesses that goes well beyond academic knowledge of the law. He has personally dealt with the ABC, the Mississippi Department of Health, and the permitting requirements that govern food service, alcohol sales, and entertainment venues. We advise businesses across industries on regulatory compliance strategy, permitting applications, and responses to agency inquiries and enforcement actions.

Why North Mississippi Businesses Choose Tollison & Webb

Oxford is not a large legal market, but it is a sophisticated one. The presence of the University of Mississippi, a growing restaurant and hospitality scene, and a business community that punches above its weight means that local businesses often have legal needs as complex as those of companies in much larger markets. We understand this community, we are part of it, and we bring the same level of legal sophistication to our business clients that larger firms in Jackson or Memphis would, without the overhead or the distance.

Taylor Webb does not just advise business clients. He is one. That means when he reviews a licensing requirement or drafts a vendor agreement, he is drawing on the same practical experience his clients are navigating. It is a different kind of legal representation, and it shows in the quality of the advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with businesses outside of Oxford?

Yes. We represent business clients throughout North Mississippi, including Lafayette, Marshall, Union, Pontotoc, Calhoun, and surrounding counties. For most business legal matters, geography is not a significant barrier and many client interactions can be handled remotely when convenient.

What size businesses do you work with?

We work with businesses at every stage, from individuals forming their first LLC to established companies with ongoing legal needs. The legal questions that matter most, including entity structure, contract terms, regulatory compliance, are not the exclusive concern of large businesses. A small business owner signing a bad contract or operating under the wrong entity structure can face the same serious consequences as a larger company.

Can you help with a business dispute without going to court?

Yes, and in most cases we try to. Litigation is expensive and time-consuming for both sides, and many commercial disputes can be resolved through direct negotiation or mediation before reaching the courthouse. We approach every business dispute with an honest assessment of the costs and benefits of litigation versus resolution, and we pursue the path that best serves our client’s interests. That path is not always the courtroom.

Do you have experience with restaurant, bar, and brewery licensing in Mississippi?

Yes, and it goes beyond legal knowledge. Taylor Webb owns and operates Circle & Square Brewing Company in Oxford and has personally navigated the ABC licensing process, health department compliance, and the permitting requirements that apply to food service and alcohol businesses in Mississippi. If you are opening or operating a restaurant, bar, brewery, or similar business in North Mississippi, that firsthand experience is directly relevant to your legal needs.
