Legal Advocacy for New and Existing Corporations
Starting a business is an exciting venture, but you have a wealth of decisions to make regarding proper corporate formation and governance. The type of business entity, legal agreements, transactions and governance rules can set the tone for a company’s success.
At the law offices of Miles Hansford, LLC, our corporate attorneys offer legal solutions that help clients start new businesses or make changes to the formation of a current business. Our years of entity and governance experience allow us to provide skilled guidance for contracts, agreements and every element of corporate governance.
Choosing a Business Entity
How do you decide whether to start a corporation, partnership or limited liability company (LLC)? Each entity has a different management structure and tax structure, as well as reporting requirements. Our lawyers have long, strong experience assisting clients with these and other corporate and business decisions.
We can help you with formation issues including:
- Business acquisitions and sales
- Commercial real estate loan documentation
- Tax concerns
- Business planning
- Joint ventures
- Employment legal needs
Our deep understanding of business law uniquely positions us to help clients with every type of legal concern. We also consult with accountants to ensure that the entity type you choose is best for your needs.
