Strategic Business Formation & Organization

The structure of your business will impact everything from your tax obligations to your personal liability and future funding opportunities. 

We help clients evaluate and select the most suitable entity type, including:

• Corporations (C-Corps and S-Corps)
• Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
• General Partnerships and Limited Partnerships
• Sole proprietorships
• Nonprofits

Once your entity type is selected, we assist with business set-up, incorporation, and compliance. We draft and file foundational documents such as Articles of Incorporation, Operating Agreements, and Bylaws. We also provide legal advice on state and federal registration requirements, licensing, and tax identification numbers.

Our team works closely with business owners to create a customized ownership and management structure. This includes drafting buy-sell agreements and advising on board formation and shareholder rights. We also provide ongoing support with Annual Meetings, Annual Report filings, and compliance with corporate formalities.

Legal Support for Growing Businesses

As your business evolves, our attorneys provide continuous legal guidance to help you navigate challenges and capitalize on new opportunities. 

We regularly assist clients with:

• Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
• Purchase or sale of a business
• Independent contractor vs. employee classification
• Internal governance and recordkeeping
• Investor relations and private funding

We understand that each stage of business growth involves its own set of legal, financial, and strategic decisions. Our attorneys are legal advisors and trusted partners who understand the real-world pressures of running a business.

Business Tax Planning & Compliance

Sound tax planning is essential for minimizing liability and maintaining financial health. While we are not a CPA firm, our attorneys offer strategic legal insight into how your business structure affects your tax responsibilities. We work with your accountants and financial advisors to develop efficient structures and transactions that align with your goals.
