Law Firm for Downtown Omaha and Old Market Businesses

Law Firm for Downtown Omaha and Old Market Businesses Brick streets in the Old Market, historic warehouses turned into restaurants and lofts, and office towers a few blocks west along Farnam and Dodge Streets: downtown Omaha packs an enormous amount of business into a small footprint. Retailers, restaurant owners, tech startups, nonprofits and headquarters staff all share the same few square miles. Erickson | Sederstrom P.C., L.L.O. works from the Regency neighborhood in west-central Omaha, but downtown is where much of the metro's litigation plays out, with the Douglas County District Court and the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska at the Roman L. Hruska Courthouse both a short walk from the Old Market. For downtown businesses, that matters. The firm has about 12 attorneys focused on litigation, handling business and commercial disputes, complex contract disputes, employment litigation and appeals in state and federal courts, including the Nebraska Supreme Court. Litigation shareholders such as Bonnie M. Boryca, Matthew Reilly and Tiernan Siems are part of that group, and Best Lawyers honorees Thomas J. Culhane and William T. Foley have been recognized for commercial litigation. A business owner facing a landlord dispute in a converted warehouse or a partner disagreement at a growing startup wants a law firm in Omaha with that kind of depth behind it. Not every downtown need ends up in court. Restaurant and bar owners in the Old Market often want help with employee handbooks, wage and hour compliance and the minimum wage changes in LB 258, signed February 9, 2026. Startups near the Capitol District and along the riverfront ask about entity selection, capital formation, software licensing and protecting immigration law firm intellectual property. Nonprofits, which are common in downtown's civic and arts community, can turn to the firm's corporate practice, which serves both for-profit and nonprofit entities. Property owners converting older buildings into apartments or offices can call on the firm's real estate and construction attorneys for development, conveyances and commercial project disputes.
