Formation of Business Entities

Forming a new business can present complex tax, securities and governance issues, with many alternatives to consider. Moreover, selection of the proper operating entity should be made with an exit strategy in mind. We have formed hundreds of corporations, general and limited partnerships and limited liability companies for clients in businesses of all types.

Our attorneys are expert in analyzing the relevant tax considerations and in drafting each entity’s governing documents to ensure that the owners’ short-term and long-term objectives are met. We handle all regulatory filings and often assist owners of newly formed businesses in preparing buy-sell agreements and shareholder or operating agreements addressing ownership and governance issues as the business develops.
