BUSINESS LAW LAWYERS

Running a business without any formal structure opens you up to significant liabilities in addition to any losses the venture incurs. Selecting a business entity type is a crucial decision for any company, as it can determine the organization’s structure, means of governance, tax efficiency, and liability. We focus on forming limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations, including the establishment of bylaws and company officers. We can help advise on what entity type is consistent with your goals, prepare the necessary documents, and register them with the state. Our firm also offers entrepreneur and startup packages to ensure you have everything you need when building a business from the ground up.

Nearly every major transaction, hire, or agreement your business makes will require a robust contract that protects your interests. This can include employment agreements, independent contractor and vendor agreements, business formation documents, real estate agreements, purchase and sale agreements, and regulatory compliance documents. Operating without these types of contracts in place can lead to significant liabilities and costly litigation when disputes inevitably arise. We have experience drafting, reviewing, and finalizing contracts in all of these areas in numerous types of business sectors.

Corporations of many types, including S corporations and C corporations, are required by state and federal law to keep thorough written records of the board of director’s decision making. This recordkeeping occurs through the use of corporate resolutions, a formal process in which a corporate board affirms an approved decision with significant impact to the company. Failure to maintain a record of corporate resolutions can result in major problems should a corporation ever be audited by the Internal Revenue Service or another government agency. We can work with corporate boards to ensure compliance with these regulations.

A business’s proprietary information and intellectual property are among its most valuable assets, and formal steps must be taken to vigorously protect it from unauthorized theft, duplication, and distribution, which can lead to lost profits and diluted brand identity. Our team can help you procure copyrights, trademarks, and patents. We can also ensure your nondisclosure and non-restrictive covenant agreements are legally enforceable and work to prevent former employees and contractors from  disseminating trade secrets.
