> Formation & Organization |
One of the first decisions facing a new business is the form of business entity.
The decision is based on the liability (risk) associated with the business venture,
the anticipated growth, the number of people in the business and, frequently,
taxation issues. We assist clients with the organization of new businesses and
acquisition vehicles, including the selection of an organizational structure
tailored to meet tax, operational and control objectives. Our services include
choice of entity selection; strategic tax planning, preparing buy-sell agreements
and LLC operating agreements, and negotiating partnership and joint venture
agreements. We are familiar with the liability and tax issues connected with
sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability partnerships, limited
liability companies and corporations. Our lawyers have developed a niche in
helping professionals, such as doctors, dentists, accountants, veterinarians
and attorneys, form professional companies or professional limited liability
companies.
We have worked with independent entrepreneurs as well as companies with hundreds
of employees and international sales.
Growing businesses also need our services as they add employees, bring in more
capital, need more space, have profits to reinvest and/or distribute, acquire
other businesses. Our firm can review and draft commercial agreements, including
leases, employment agreement, independent contractor agreements, confidentiality
agreements, web-site development agreements and the like. We are experienced
with executive compensation issues (including deferred compensation), financing
strategies and succession issues. We also can help protect your intangible property
through confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements, and obtaining trademark
and copyright registration.
