Always use a Business Lawyer! This is a dangerous, complex area of Business Law.
It is all confusing. Which entity to choose? LLC or Corporation? Which tax status? Sub-S? LLC with an 8832? How do you document percent ownership among partners? Who has decision-making power, voting rights? Who gets what in dissolution? What about taxes? It is critical to have a business lawyer advise you specifically on each topic, after taking into account your exact legal and tax position.
Be Smart: Don't fall for cheap incorporation sites or self-filing.
Cheap "self-help" incorporation and LLC formation sites often create real disasters for you. If you are considering using a cheap incorporation service or downloading some operating agreement off the internet and 'doing it yourself', DON'T. Our litigation department thrives on cases resulting from poorly written and badly thought-out shareholder agreements. Your business is too important to risk losing simply because you wanted to make your first step a cheap step.
We offer more than just new business incorporations and LLC setup:
- Retail sales tax license filing
- PUC Public Utilities Commission applications, hearings and interventions
- Purchase and sales agreements
- Stock sales and investment capital law
- Franchising law
- Buyouts, mergers and acquisitions
- Asset sales, dissolutions
- Employment compliance issues
- Federal Trademark Registration: Don't forget to search the US Patent and Trademark office's records before contacting us to be your trademark lawyer.
As you grow, we are there to help you. Contract drafting, collections, disputes, capital raising, franchising, business expansion and more.
After forming your corporation or LLC, we can also help you negotiate the complex legal issues that are part of mergers, acquisitions, and commercial real estate law. As your business needs change, we can help you reorganize your corporation for greater tax advantage and to meet the changing needs of shareholders. In addition, our business knowledge gives us the experience to help you avoid many of the start-up issues that lead to disputes and litigation as your business grows.
Nightmare: How Come My Ex Took Half My Business and Can Now Stymie Me!
You did a self-incorporation. Or downloaded a cheap operating agreement off the net. Didn't you. That's why. We have ways of drafting LLC operating agreements which keep non-consensual transferees out of power. If anyone gets hold of your shares by act of any court against your will, you will have, as Manager, the ability to deprive them of voting power completely. This is one of the hundreds of ways in which a custom operating agreement drafted by an attorney can protect you. Be Smart. Form your business with a Lawyer.
