Business Law Lawyers in Honolulu

39 business attorneys are listed in Honolulu, which holds most of the state's commercial legal capacity. Work here concentrates on tourism and hospitality, retail, construction, shipping and professional services.

Two local features come up constantly. Hawaii charges a general excise tax on business gross receipts rather than a conventional sales tax, and it applies broadly — including to services and to rent — so it belongs in any pricing or contract discussion. And commercial land is frequently held under long-term ground lease rather than in fee, which changes how a lease or a business purchase should be structured.

Disputes are heard in the First Circuit Court, with federal matters in the District of Hawaii.

Lawyers listed in Honolulu also cover Personal Injury (32), Real Estate Law (23) and Family Law (21). Honolulu is the only city in Hawaii where the directory lists attorneys in this practice above the listing threshold.
