Business Transactions, Entity Formation and Maintenance

Our attorneys advise a wide range of business entities at every stage of their life cycle, including start-up, maintenance, growth, and mature companies involved in succession planning. We are experienced in entity formation, including choice-of-entity decisions, ownership structures, and control issues. We routinely draft shareholder agreements, operating agreements, buy-sell agreements, bylaws, voting agreements, and other agreements tailored to our clients’ specific needs. We work with our clients to ensure adherence to corporate formalities, and we assist in drafting board resolutions and maintaining appropriate business records. We routinely work with our clients’ accountants or other tax professionals to determine appropriate methods to achieve our clients’ transactional goals.
