BUSINESS PLANNING

Small business ownership has made more people wealthy than any other single factor including stocks, bonds, or even real estate.

Our business creation and maintenance practice focuses on preparing you for your business ventures through executing sound contracts that include built-in mechanisms for resolving conflicts and minimizing liabilities.
We have always developed long-term business relationships with our clients, advising them on a number of legal business concerns. We have experience handling business formation needs, whether for entrepreneurs engaging in first business ventures, small businesses considering reorganization, or a seasoned business professional. We can assist with business planning, offer advice for entity selection, and help form the appropriate business entity.
