FAQ - Business Transactional Law

When should I consult a business attorney?

Ideally before forming an entity, signing contracts, admitting partners, or making structural changes. Proactive legal planning reduces risk and prevents costly disputes.

What type of business entity is best?

The appropriate structure depends on tax considerations, liability concerns, ownership structure, and long-term goals. I evaluate your business objectives before recommending an entity. Usually it is an LLC taxed as a disregarded entity (one owner), a partnership (two owners), or an S-Corporation, but it largely depends on the circumstances as some entities need C-Corporation status for regulatory reasons, even though I would not usually recommend them.

Do you assist with business succession planning?

Yes, this is actually one of the areas I excel in with both a business transactional law and estate background as they go hand in hand.
