Business
Organizations/ Entrepreneurship
The form of business chosen for a business entity potentially affects
every aspect of its operations. Our firm assists clients in formation
and business planning in deciding whether they want to operate
as a closely held business, limited liability company, partnership,
or corporation. We advise our clients about directors’ and officers’
liability, dissolution, franchising, reorganization, trade association
membership and activity, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions,
divestitures, business successions, and shareholders’ rights.
Taxation
We represent individuals and commercial clients in matters with tax implications,
identifying and addressing state and federal tax issues, and structuring transactions
in such a way as to minimize taxes and avoid inherent tax problems.
Additionally, our firm has experience
preparing and filing individual tax returns. Our
fees for doing this are comparable to H&R Block®
or any other tax preparation company or accounting
firm. For very complex tax matters, our firm teams
with several certified public accountants (CPA’s)
to handle any personal or business tax matter.

negotiating, and reviewing all types of contracts,
whether commercial or private. We have experience
with contracts involving: sales, leases, real estate,

attorney can help you avoid future legal problems
through proper drafting and by explaining your
contractual rights and duties. |
