Entity selection depends on desired liability protection, tax considerations, and growth plans. An LLC offers flexibility and pass-through taxation, while a corporation suits equity funding and formal governance. We review your goals and structure recommendations accordingly.

A shareholder agreement clarifies ownership rights, transfer procedures, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It helps prevent conflicts during growth or transition by defining voting rules, buy-sell provisions, and exit paths. This upfront governance reduces risk and fosters stability as the business evolves.
Basic formation documents should include the entity name, purpose, principal office, registered agent, and initial governance framework. Additional items include ownership structure and capital contributions. Precise, compliant drafting from the start reduces later ambiguity and supports efficient administration.
M&A advice is essential when negotiating value, structuring deals, and planning integration. Our approach covers due diligence, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, and strategic alignment to protect value and maintain business continuity through the transition.
