Form a Business
Incorporate your business with counsel built on decades of legal and business experience. Successful incorporation requires thoughtful consideration of your plans for the future of the company — not just paperwork. Once formed, we stand ready to assist with operations, finance, intellectual property protection, growth, and exit.
Benefits of a Formal Entity
Whether you choose a corporation, LLC, or partnership, the right structure protects your assets and signals professional credibility.
Reduced Personal Liability
A formal entity creates a legal shield between business obligations and personal assets — when properly maintained.
Contained Assets & Property
Stock and assets are held by the entity for the benefit of all owners, with documented governance over how they are used and distributed.
Formality Customers & Investors Expect
Suppliers, customers, lenders, and investors increasingly require a formal entity before they will contract, extend credit, or invest.
Pick the Right Structure
Each entity type trades formality, flexibility, and tax treatment differently. We help you choose, form, and document the right one.
Corporation
The most formal of all business entities. Favored by investors because of well-defined governance, share classes, and exit mechanics — but requires the most operational formality and compliance.
LLC / LLP
Limited Liability Companies and Limited Liability Partnerships offer many of the same liability protections as corporations but are less formal in structure and more flexible in ongoing compliance.
Partnership
The default form for the mutual operation of a business. Requires the least formality and compliance — but exposes partners to broader personal liability unless structured as an LLP.
Articles, Operating Agreements, Bylaws, Shareholder Agreements
It is not whether you have these documents — it is the work you put into creating a set you can live by. Our lawyers work with clients to develop documents that tackle the hard questions while they are still easy to answer.
