Formation and Entity Selection
Forming a business requires more than simply filling out forms. To properly handle a business formation, an attorney will take time to meet personally with a client, understand their goals and identify the form best suited to accomplish those goals.
After an initial assessment of the proposed business, the attorney will advise the client on a number of matters, including liability exposure and other important aspects of business entity selection. At McNamee Hosea, we provide a full range of legal services for start up businesses, including formation of a:
- Partnership
- Corporation
- LLC
- LLP
- S-corp
- C-corp
Our firm helps aspiring business owners turn ideas into action. We partner with our clients to build a lasting relationship that is mutually beneficial.
We go beyond formation advice to provide consistently sound and supportive services throughout the duration of our client's business endeavors. Our business and commercial practice is diverse in scope and includes corporate governance, business counseling services, contracts, transactions and litigation.
Starting a Business the Right Way
One of most important reasons for forming a legal business entity is liability exposure. To properly determine the type of business you should form, we will ask a range of questions at your initial consultation.
Beyond liability exposure, we will discuss additional areas of concern you may have, including corporate governance issues, e.g. minutes, meetings and ways of properly operating your business. The liability protections offered by incorporating can be lost if your business does not act like a business. Fortunately, our law firm has been handling business law matters for more than 25 years. We understand the law and look forward to putting our experience to work for you.
