Corporate Law
Businesses are the economic engines of America. They must make a profit. And a business can make a profit only if it is strong at its core with good management. A business can be in many forms, a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, general partnership, or sole proprietorship. No matter what form your business takes, it must have strong, clearly worded, and logical legal documents on which you can build and sustain your business. Your business's core legal documents must not limit your business, they must expand it! Effective documents must be your vision and goals for your company as well as protect your company against the storms of the marketplace.
Your experienced corporate lawyer can be invaluable. He must listen carefully to what you are telling him. Then, and only then, can he advise you on the best form for your business. You might tell your lawyer that it is important that the owners have limited liability and that the business have a strong management structure. Your lawyer might then advise you on a corporation or limited liability company. You might tell your lawyer that tax savings are important to you. Your lawyer will then work with you and your accountant to accomplish this goal. You might tell your lawyer that you want your management team protected from frivolous lawsuits. Your lawyer should build these protections into the articles, bylaws, and contracts.
Your lawyer should SAVE you money and MAKE you money. Insist on it!
