Our law firm works closely with small and medium-sized business owners from the outset, beginning with the question of “What form should my business organization take?” In deciding what form of business to adopt, whether a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company (LLC), you should consult an experienced corporate attorney, since each form of business has separate advantages and disadvantages. The drafting and filing of Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization, along with the drafting of By-laws and a Shareholder Agreement, Operating Agreement or Partnership Agreement, is a pivotal step in the start-up process where an experienced business lawyer should be utilized. Other tasks that a business attorney may perform at the outset on behalf of business clients are the registration of trademarks and service marks, obtaining fictional (d/b/a) names, obtaining an EIN, reviewing lease agreements, and drafting employment agreements.
