Civil Law

Corporation and LLC Formation

Our firm forms your business legal entities. Prospective business owners must select both a legal structure (business entity form) and a name (DBA) for their new business. You may want to consult with an attorney before choosing a legal structure, particularly if more than one person will own the business. The legal entity form you choose will affect the taxes you must pay and how you report them. You will want to check with an accountant. We will encourage a team effort with an accountant that you choose so that the best entity is created for your needs.

Following are descriptions of the various legal structures we create.

• Sole Proprietorship
• Partnership
• Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
• Limited Partnership
• Corporation
• S Corporation
• C Corporation
• Professional Service Corporation
• Limited Liability Company (LLC)
• Professional Limited Liability
• Company (PLLC)

Evictions

If a tenant fails to pay rent or violates any terms of the rental agreement, we provide landlord representation in eviction proceedings.

Leases

The written rental agreement between the landlord and the tenant is an important legal document. This agreement should be read and understood by both parties before it is signed. If either party has questions or wishes to have the terms of the rental agreement changed, these matters should be resolved before the agreement is signed. This document will control your agreement. Neither party should rely on oral statements that are contrary to the terms of the written rental agreement. We assist in making sure your rental agreement is drafted the way you want it drafted.

Purchase and Sale Agreements

The purpose of a purchase and sale agreement is to allow for a relatively easy business transition from one to another. Properly drafted business transactions
avoid misunderstandings which can result in litigation. It is important that all parties involved in a purchase and sale agreement consult with an attorney and accountant. Agreements that are well-crafted, explicit, detailed, and irrefutable avoid costly unintended consequences. We can assist with terms like “first right of refusal” or “leasing to own”, both of which frequently create litigation when improperly written.
