BUSINESS PLANNING
We have served as counsel to over two hundred corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies. The extent of our services may include advice on the choice of business entity, the organization of the business structure, the creation of contracts required for proper functioning of the new business entity, advice regarding corporate financing and stock ownership issues, mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations. We have also teamed up with outside counsel on specific issues regarding equity financing, copyright infringement, trademark and patent needs, and labor issues.

We often work with owners of closely-held businesses, to coordinate the transfer of business ownership and to minimize tax liability. In closely held businesses, the coordination of the transfer of ownership between generations is often the prevailing concern. Our team will create a comprehensive plan for the transfer of the business, and where transfer taxes are involved we integrate our estate planning services and our business planning services to minimize the tax consequences and help our clients reach their business and personal goals simultaneously.
