Corporate Formation and Organization
When you come to us for advice about your new company, our primary goal will be to protect you and your company from liability. It important to make sure that the corporation will be liable if there is a dispute, not you. We will help you choose from these options for your new entity:
- S Corporation
- C Corporation
- Limited Liability Company (LLC)
- Partnership
- Sole Proprietorship
Listening to your long-term goals and strategy, we will help you decide which entity best fits your needs. We will also help you determine a tax strategy to fit your needs.
Corporate Governance
Once you have chosen the proper entity for your corporation, it is important to maintain it properly to protect yourself. As with forming a new corporation, we will focus on minimizing your personal liability and efficiently planning your legal strategy.
Business Transactions
We will help you understand your rights and obligations regarding these business transactions:
- Purchasing and selling products between companies
- Selling or purchasing shares in corporations
- Buying or selling a corporation or business
- Financing the purchase of a company's goods and services
Even if you follow all of the rules, other parties may fail to meet their obligations. When it is necessary, we will aggressively pursue your interests in litigation.
Contracts
Bad contracts can result in painful consequences. If you are in the process of drafting or negotiating any kind of business contract, contact us for honest legal advice. If someone has failed to uphold their end of a contract with you, we will help you enforce the agreement through mediation or litigation.
Litigation
When people refuse to follow through with business transactions, debt payment or contracts, we will represent your interests in negotiation and litigation. We have experience with a variety of business disputes, including:
