Business Law
When starting a new business, or expanding an existing business, there are important questions to consider. How can personal and business liability be minimized? What is the best tax structure? How should management and control of the business be organized? What legal filings and documentation are required? Do the business have any significant legal compliance risks? Also, if a business will have more than one owner (and often even if it doesn't), an agreement that covers how the business will be managed, how owners or partners will be paid, how ownership can be transferred, and many other things, is essential to protect the owners and reduce the likelihood of disputes and misunderstandings in the future. Business owners often find themselves in need of other agreements as well, such as contracts with third parties, buy/sell agreements, employment contracts, etc.
We can help you with the legal requirements of starting, growing, or transitioning a business, and with most types of agreements that you may need as part of normal business operations. We are also happy to coordinate with your accountant to ensure you are getting seamless legal and tax advice. Putting agreements in writing, when done right, does not destroy trust. Rather, it increases it. Feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance to you and your business.
