Business Formation Lawyers

How you legally form your business can impact its success for the entire time it remains open. It can also impact whether you could face personal liability if your company is sued. One of the first decisions you will have to make is what type of corporation your company will be. Creating a Limited Liability Corporation rather than a sole proprietorship or partnership can protect your personal assets in case your company ever has to deal with a lawsuit or goes into debt. LLCs are the most common structure for small businesses. Larger companies or companies in certain industries may make a different structure preferable. Our experienced attorneys can discuss this important decision with you to help you choose the best corporate structure for your type of company.

There is much, much more to business formation than choosing the right means of incorporation. We will be here to guide you while you are planning out the details of your new business venture.

Contract Drafting and Review Lawyers

Contracts make the business world go around. Being able to rely on the contracts you and your clients, vendors, or employees sign is critical to the health of a company. Knowing that the contracts you enter into are enforceable and sufficiently protect your interests is invaluable. Many business owners make the mistake of not seeking an attorney's help when drafting employment contracts and later discover that their non-compete clauses are unenforceable. Others may not notice the fine print on a contract offered by a necessary supplier and then later discover that the vendor's contractual obligations are not what they expected or wanted.

Having an attorney there to catch small issues in contracts that could later turn into very big problems can be invaluable to your business.
