Choosing the Right LLC, Corporate, or Partnership Form for Your Needs
Selecting the right entity can get a new business off to the right start. While an essential objective in business formation is to protect personal assets from business liability, different forms have different features for capitalization, taxation, governance, and liability. Our lawyers can guide you through the right choice of a limited liability company, corporate, or other limited liability entity and assist with maintaining the formalities of said entities to maximize liability protection.
We'll also make sure that your corporation, LLC or partnership is properly registered and organized. Any equity group of two or more requires careful attention to such matters as provisions for decision-making growth, exit strategy and dispute resolution. We also advise clients about the right mix of insurance coverage to protect you on matters ranging from premises liability to errors and omissions.
With long experience advising businesses in Southern California, we can also help you resolve problems and avoid liability with respect to your operations. We routinely negotiate and document agreements relating to any of the following:
- Asset purchase and sales agreements
- Business financing
- Employment and severance
- Independent contractor relationships
- Trade secrets and confidentiality
- Noncompetition and nonsolicitation
- Customer and vendor contracts
- Manufacturing and distribution agreements
- Equity buyouts
