Entity Selection and Formation

Whether you are taking your first steps into the business world or are branching out and expanding your current business, we will help you choose the appropriate type of entity to form and assist you with filings with the Secretary of State, County Clerk, and other appropriate entities. We will also work with you to prepare Certificates of Formation, draft and negotiate Governing Documents, issue shares of stock or ownership certificates, secure your federal taxpayer number, file any required assumed name certificates, and otherwise set you up for success. In addition, we will usually discuss and suggest pre-planned exit strategies or dispute resolution documents, including buy-sell agreements and succession plans. If disputes arise between stakeholders in a business, the litigation experience of our attorneys and knowledge of the law can be a valuable asset to you in resolving the disputes.
