We represent clients from diverse industries, including farms, engineering firms, power plants, retail businesses, and doctor’s offices. Let us know your business plans so that we can advise you as to what your next step may be.
Incorporation
Incorporating, whether as a corporation, a limited liability company (LLC), or a partnership, with the Secretary of State is a good first step. Our attorneys can help walk you through the issues that you will need to consider and some of the tax implications that such choices may have.
Part of the process of incorporating is also putting into place good governing documents, such as an Operating Agreement, that details who the owners of the company are, responsibilities of owners and shareholders, rights of succession or sale, the initial manager of the company along with their duties and powers, and issuance, type, and quantity of stock certificates. These important initial documents can help safeguard your business later on should problems arise between partners or claims arise because of company actions.
Annual Meetings
Another common requirement of the corporate legal world is annual meetings in which the shareholders or members, depending on how the entity was created, meet to discuss the business of the company, receive information on the status of the company, and elect officers.
Special Meetings
Along with the annual meetings, it might sometimes be necessary to call special meetings in order to carry out specific acts of business. One of the most common reasons for a special meeting is to effectuate the sale or purchase of real property.
Our attorneys can help you and your business put together these important documents and direct you on what might be required to conduct certain business actions.
Business Problems
The unfortunate reality of running a business means that you will inevitably run into problems, whether it be with customers, employees, or even business partners. Having a lawyer on your side for these issues can help take some of the burden off you and allow you to focus on running your business.
