LLCs

Starting a new business—or managing a growing one—can be both rewarding and complex. We assist entrepreneurs with every stage of forming and maintaining a Limited Liability Company (LLC), including drafting operating agreements, handling multi-member arrangements, and ensuring continued compliance with state requirements. We also coordinate LLC structures with your estate planning needs to ensure everything works together smoothly and efficiently.

Corporations

Our firm supports corporations throughout their lifecycle, from formation to ongoing governance. We help you register with the state, prepare essential corporate documents such as bylaws, stock certificates, and articles of incorporation, and maintain your corporate record book. We also provide annual updates, including meeting minutes and other necessary compliance materials, to keep your business on track.

It. In. Writing. We provide comprehensive contract drafting services tailored to the unique needs of small businesses. Our experience covers a wide range of agreements, including purchase and sale contracts, employment and lease agreements, operating and shareholder agreements, vendor and supplier contracts, confidentiality agreements, and more.
