Choosing and Structuring Entities for New Businesses
Choosing the proper legal entities for your new business is essential.

Depending on your chosen entity, we may need to draft partnership, shareholder, or operating agreements. In those formation documents, we also can address dissolution, liquidation, buy-sell provisions, succession planning, and tax planning should those events occur in the future.

Facilitating the Merger and Sale of Businesses
When it comes time to sell your business, we can walk you through the emotional process of selling a business you have spent years or decades growing, whether alone, with business partners or family members.
