Form the Appropriate Business Entity
One of the most important elements of establishing a new startup is forming the appropriate business entity. Business entities provide owners with leadership and operational structures, tax efficiencies, limited personal liability, and other significant advantages. Several types of business entities are available, and each offers its own set of advantages and drawbacks. We can evaluate your unique needs and objectives and advise what type of entity makes the most sense for you.
Our Seattle business transaction attorneys can help entrepreneurs form many types of entities, including:
- Partnerships
- Limited Liability Companies
- Corporations
- Joint Ventures
Forming a business entity involves registering the appropriate documentation with the government. You will also need to create formation documents that define each owner’s responsibilities, how the company will operate, and how disputes will be adjudicated. These provisions must comply with all relevant local, state, and federal regulations and should also be carefully structured to protect your interests. We can help you manage all elements of formation, including the preparation and filing of all necessary partner agreements, operating agreements, and shareholder agreements.
We can serve as your legal partner as your startup grows, evolves, and faces new obstacles. Our firm provides many legal services to new and existing businesses, including contracting services, intellectual property guidance, and assistance with government investigations.
