Areas of Practice
Business Formations and Transactions
We guide start-ups in the formation of business entities that best suit their needs. Depending on the nature of the underlying business and ownership structure, the client may require a corporation, a limited liability company, or a professional entity (the latter being reserved for doctors, lawyers, accountants and other professionals). Our attorneys have great depth of experience in advising in the selection of the proper business entity as well as drafting critically important documentation to govern the rights and responsibilities of the business owners. These documents, depending on the form of the entity, include shareholders' agreements, operating agreements and partnership agreements.
Additionally, on an ongoing basis we work with our clients to properly document their business transactions. We create unique, deal-specific contracts for a wide variety of businesses, including: artist management agencies, online marketers, event planners, fashion houses, exclusive designer sales representatives, software developers, beverage distributors, manufacturers, environmental services providers, importers, exporters, home health-aide agencies, hedge funds, real estate investment companies, publishers, high-tech staffing firms and national retailers of collectible items.
