Our attorneys have vast experience in dealing with many types of
business entities, from start-up ventures to large corporations.
Our attorneys assist start-up businesses in the choice of
entity, whether Subchapter S corporation, C corporation, limited
liability company, general partnership, limited partnership, or
limited liability partnership. Each of these entity choices
offers its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages. Our
attorneys look into the business characteristics of the company,
the relationship among the owners, and tax matters to select the
appropriate entity.
The key to setting up a successful business is properly defining
the relationship among the owners. Our attorneys have experience
in setting up these agreements, whether employment agreements,
shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, or operating
agreements. Our lawyers routinely represent individuals and
companies in the acquisition and sale of businesses. We help
analyze the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing the stock
of a company versus purchasing the assets. We routinely work
closely with accountants and business advisors to assist clients
with structuring a transaction in the most tax favorable and
efficient manner possible.
