Business Formation and Counsel
Forming or restructuring a business requires informed decision-making that can directly affect a company's long-term viability. Our firm is committed to helping clients succeed at the start of their business ventures and has counseled entrepreneurs, professionals, mid-sized companies, small business owners and private equity firms in the start-up phases of their businesses.
Our corporate practice helps clients choose appropriate business entities and advise them about the best ways to oversee operations. Our attorneys undertake all types of business formation and restructuring, including limited liability companies (LLC) and operating agreements, corporations (S Corporations and C Corporations) and shareholder agreements, limited and general partnerships, limited liability partnerships (LLP), family limited partnerships, joint ventures, not-for-profit organizations, and franchise agreements.
In addition to assisting clients with business formation, our lawyers advise on continuing operations to protect businesses and guard clients' personal interests from corporate liability. Business entities seek our counsel and representation in matters involving tax liability, business succession strategies, buy-sell agreements, mergers and acquisitions, financing or capitalization, contract drafting and review, employee agreements, licenses and real estate transactions. We undertake this work with the goal of minimizing the risk of disputes, but if problems arise, we are strong advocates for clients in all types of commercial litigation.
