Business law services that we provide include: ​

  • Business Succession Planning—We recommend that a business succession plan be coordinated with your overall estate plan.  It is important to ensure that ALL your assets will go where you wish them to go and that you designate appropriate people to carry out your plan. Frequently, a business succession plan involves sending business assets to one child, but ensuring that other children will be otherwise compensated.  It is often unwise to give ownership of a small business to someone who is not working in the business.  A business succession plan may also involve Planned Gifting of business interests to your heirs or trusts for their benefit.
  • Tax Planning—Minimization of state taxes and federal taxes, including capital gains taxes, federal income taxes, state income taxes, federal estate taxes, state estate taxes, state inheritance taxes, and business payroll taxes is imperative when managing a business.
  • Business Formations—Creation of limited liability companies, general partnerships, limited partnerships, C-Corporations, and S-Corporations.
