Business Formation
Every decision during the formation of a business has long-term significance. Choice of entity is perhaps the most crucial, and we advise clients on the tax, personal liability, and daily operation implications of each type:
- Limited liability company (LLC)
- Incorporation
- S corporation or C corporation
- Limited liability partnership (LLP)
- Family limited partnership (FLP)
We work closely with owners to mesh goals of the company with the drafting of operating agreements, shareholder agreements and partnership agreements. How will decisions be made? How will profits be shared? When starting a business, astute clients contemplate the ending of the business; we draft buy-sell agreements to plan for business succession if a stakeholder dies, divorces, or leaves the operation.
