We can provide research and advice regarding the company’s legal obligations, rights and responsibilities, address contract provisions of an agreement to be sure they are clear, unambiguous and won’t cause problems for their client in the future, coordinate with other transactional lawyers in such specialties as tax, ERISA and real estate, etc.
Also advise on the duties and responsibilities of corporate officers, directors and insiders, assist in the creation, organization or dissolution of the business entity, drafting and administration of articles of incorporation, by-laws, etc., addressing considerations of partnerships, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships and business trusts.
