Business Organizations-The form of entity selected for the conduct of a business greatly impacts the daily operations of the business and the income tax consequences to both the business and its owners. We assist clients with this step of business formation by reviewing the goals and individual facts present in each situation to recommend the best entity—selecting from limited/general partnerships, limited liability companies or corporations, and the different elections or options available under each.

We also handle asset purchase agreements and non-competition issues.
