Entity Formation & Corporate Governance

Understanding the client’s needs and goals is the starting point which allows the attorneys in our Corporate Department to determine the appropriate corporate vehicle and structure for a new business venture.  Once such needs and goals are understood, our attorneys evaluate and assess corporate governance issues, corporate compliance, tax and cost concerns to determine the most appropriate entity to recommend to the client.  When tax issues are of paramount importance, our attorneys are well-equipped to evaluate such issues and, if needed, to consult with the client’s outside tax advisors and professionals.  Once the corporate structure is selected, our attorneys ensure that the new entity is geared for corporate success by implementing appropriate by-laws, operating, partnership or shareholder agreements; annual and special minutes and consents; and annual report filings.
