Business Formation
We will review with you your business plan and recommend
the type of entity that fits your needs. There are several
entity structures to choose from, each with their own
benefits and risks. Finding the right one for your business
is what we will help you decide. Whether it is a sole
proprietorship or a limited liability company (LLC),
a partnership or corporation, we will draft and file
the necessary documents to you get started in your new
business or convert your present structure to a different
legal entity.
Several factors come into play. The first factor to
consider is liability. There is always the risk that
you may be sued in connection with a debt or some act
by the business. Personal liability is an important
issue and you will want to consider protection of your
personal assets.
Another factor is your business income tax. Which entity
you choose may affect the amount of tax rate and consequently
the tax paid.
An LLC can provide limited liability to its business
owners, known as "members." In California
you can operate as a one member LLC. There are less
regulations and practices required to operate as an
LLC than a corporation. One drawback is an LLC cannot
obtain a contractor’s license.
Maybe you are considering bringing in investors who
don’t want to operate the business but just want
to provide the capital and, hopefully, receive a share
of the profits along with increased value of their ownership
interest. In such case, a limited partnership, corporation,
or LLC may be the route to pursue.
Business Contracts
All business revolves around contracts. We can help
guide you through the drafting of contracts for the
acquisition or sale of business, asset sale, purchase
or sale of commercial real property, lease of commercial
real property, construction contracts and credit agreements.
We can also help set up a buy/sell agreement to facilitate
the orderly transfer, succession and transition of your
company.

lawsuits and assist them in alternative dispute resolution
