Business Formations and Startups:

For new business formations and startups, there are numerous factors to consider. First and foremost, you will need to choose the right entity for your needs. But that is only the beginning. You also need to file necessary paperwork with government agencies, draft carefully worded internal agreements between partners, employees and subcontractors and many other activities. The business startup phase alone can become quite complicated and requires the assistance of experienced legal counsel.

Business Acquisitions and Sales:

Business acquisitions and sales can be quite complex. Whether you are selling your business, acquiring another business or merging with a competitor, there are numerous potential issues that must be addressed. To ensure that your interests are protected throughout the process, it is important to have experienced legal counsel in your corner.

Business Succession Planning:

Within family-owned and closely-held businesses, there is often an owner or key member of the company that would be difficult to replace. To ensure that the business remains viable well into the future, it is important to have a proactive succession plan in place. Business succession planning starts with a thorough examination of your unique circumstances by experienced legal counsel, so you can develop a plan that protects your interests and accomplishes your goals.

General Business Counseling:

Starting and operating a business requires you to navigate a sea of complex laws and regulations. In order to comply with all the legal requirements and preserve the long-term viability of your business, you need experienced lawyers to help guide and counsel you. For organizations that lack the budget for full-time in-house legal counsel, Kinnally Flaherty Krentz Loran Hodge & Masur P.C. offers practical, innovative and efficient business counseling and planning.
