- Corporate LawIn our business law practice, we offer a wide range of legal services to serve the needs of business owners. Our business legal services include business formations, funding agreements, operating agreements, shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, purchases and sales of businesses, contract review and preparation, record keeping, corporate maintenance and other matters crucial to success of a business.
- Business FormationIf you are starting a business, it is important to contact a lawyer familiar with the complexities of business formations. It is crucial to carefully draft a business formation document. Without careful attention to details, your business debts could become your personal debts and a debtor or plaintiff in a civil lawsuit may be able to pierce the corporate veil. More importantly, you may lose control over the business you worked so hard to build if your formation documents are not properly drafted or corporate formalities are not followed.
