Business & Finance

From the basic question of whether the startup company should organize itself as a corporation or an LLC to the complex business questions facing mature industries, we represent companies through all facets of their corporate needs. Typical tasks include drafting articles of incorporation, articles of organization, bylaws, operating agreements and partnership agreements, for both profit and non-profit entities. We also provide tax and corporate planning advice for structuring transactions, assist with multistate reorganizations and liquidation of subsidiaries, including creating all associated documentation, such as shareholder agreements, buy/sell agreements, voting trusts, and other agreements relating to corporate governance. We also assist clients with the maintenance of corporate records and obtaining tax clearances.

Many clients are interested in expanding or restructuring their operations through business acquisitions. For them, we provide a broad range of services that include negotiation, drafting and implementation of purchase or sales agreements for asset, stock or other business equity transactions, and the preparation of all associated documents. We negotiate, draft and implement security agreements and promissory notes, perfect security interests in equipment, leaseholds, intangibles or other property, prepare Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) financing statements, mortgages and conditional sales contracts. In addition, we negotiate, draft and implement consignment agreements, and draft and implement confidentiality and non-competition agreements.

We also provide counsel on the tax aspects of business transactions, including the implication of provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and state laws. We assist in structuring a particular transaction to provide the most tax effective arrangement to achieve a client's corporate goals, including full consideration of reorganization provisions of the IRC, and the implications of qualified and non-qualified compensation plans.
