BUSINESS FORMATION AND START UP
Our law firm works closely with small and medium-sized business owners from the outset, beginning with the question of “What form should my business organization take?” In deciding what form of business to adopt, whether a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company (LLC), you should consult an experienced corporate attorney, since each form of business has separate advantages and disadvantages.
The drafting and filing of Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization, along with the drafting of By-laws and a Shareholder Agreement, Operating Agreement or Partnership Agreement, is a pivotal step in the start-up process where an experienced business lawyer should be utilized. Other tasks we perform at the outset on behalf of business clients are the registration of trademarks and service marks, reviewing lease agreements, and drafting employment agreements.
We favor a proactive approach that avoids potential business issues before they arise. Our team serves as a sounding board for the hard questions that affect our clients’ accounting, and legal issues. Our entrepreneurial insight and targeted-oriented approach enable us to help you focus on your core business.
