Step 3: Meet With Your Attorney

During your initial consultation with your attorney, you will learn about the purpose of creating corporate entities to protect your assets and your family. Additionally, we will discuss the differences among LLC’s, corporations and partnerships. Your attorney will coordinate with your accountant to assist in determining tax ramifications relating to your enterprise. Your initial consultation normally lasts 1.5 hours and culminates in your attorney providing you with a proposed course of action with the associated fees to assist you.

Step 4: Finalize Your Business Needs

Whether we are completing the formation of a business, executing a buy-sell agreement, closing on the purchase or sale of a business or finalizing a transactional matter, your attorney will advise and assist you throughout the process.
