Business Formation and
Corporate Compliance

True or false: many entrepreneurs go into business in order to spend months on red tape and administration. That is a trick question and too often this statement is true and false. Even though dealing with red tape is not their intent, it becomes the reality. The types of tasks range from the simple and mundane – think setting up a computer and Wi-Fi, securing workspace and insurance, – to the complex and exceptional – filing corporate formation documents, pulling business licenses, setting up an initial public offering. If you are a sole proprietor, you will be making the decisions alone. If you are a partner in a partnership, there will be a process, casual or formal, for making decisions and deciding who executes them (which may add more drag than efficiency, early on). All of this can be both exciting and intimidating.

We recognize that our clients rely on us to avoid potential pitfalls, so we use our extensive experience to assist them in navigating business and legal courses of action. We take this responsibility seriously and always aim to provide our clients with appropriate protection while meeting their goals in an ethical, friendly, and professional manner.One reason that we are successful in this area of law is that deep down inside, many of our lawyers are frustrated entrepreneurs. We love the law, but also kind of wish we had started (or stayed with) businesses of our own. The upshot is we love our work, and we are very good at it. And the goal of our work is to make you as successful as possible. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, we earnestly recommend that you seek counsel early on. This prevents not just the waste of time on projects that might not need to be done, but in the worst cases, efforts spent to undo well-intentioned but inappropriate actions.
