Business Formation and Organization

If you are planning on starting a business, it's a good idea to work with a lawyer at an early stage of the business's formation. An attorney's advice about business entity selection, basic tax planning and choosing an organizational structure that will fit future growth, ownership changes, capital needs, risk management or even family considerations, will help ensure your business's success.

Proper attention to the formalities in the formation and organization of a business will also go far to protect the value of your corporation, partnership or other business entity if you get a chance to sell the business later on.
