With decades of experience helping businesses maneuver through the sometimes confusing landscape of business law, we are primed to help you make the best choices for your business.
Why Your Business Structure Matters
When selecting a business entity designation, it’s important to consider your industry and your plans for the future. How you structure your business will have an impact on how you pay yourself, how you file taxes, and what regulatory standards your business will be beholden to. While starting a partnership or running your business as a sole-proprietorship may seem simple, these entity designations can have legal ramifications down the line. Reduce your liability and seek legal advice.

- Help you choose the most appropriate legal designation for your business and industry.
- Determine where the best place to start your business is.
- File the appropriate paperwork to help you create your business.
- Secure an EIN for your new entity.
- Create ownership and operating agreements.
