Business Law
Formation
Want to start a business? Don’t know the differences between Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), and other business entities? Don’t know which is right for your situation?
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Tell us your goals and we will help you every step of the way, from deciding on how to structure your business and choosing the right entity, to assisting with all of the necessary paperwork.
Contracting & Operations
We regularly assist individuals, corporations, and institutions in contract formation, negotiation, administration, and restructuring. In addition, most businesses are subject to some kind of regulation, whether it be public health regulations, consumer protection laws, licensing, or other requirements. We have expertise guiding clients through complications created by regulatory laws. And almost all businesses need legal assistance from time to time with employment matters. We draw from our robust employment law practice to assist businesses with employment issues.
Compliance
Once our clients have formed a business, we assist them to comply with the technical, legal requirements for various business entity types. Issues may concern maintaining sufficient records of shareholder, partner or member interests, voting, document amendments, governance issues, management control, annual reports or other Connecticut Secretary of State filings, and many other topics relating to the legalities of maintaining a separate business entity.
Closure, Dissolution, Sales & Transfers
Closing a business can be the most physically and emotionally taxing endeavor business owners will ever face. Let us make it easier for you.
Whether you are looking to start out in business by buying an existing business, you are looking to transition out of your business, or you are buying or selling a product line, the right due diligence, documentation and closing are critical. We help business owners prepare to transition out of their businesses by establishing a succession plan and/or buy-sell arrangements.
