Next, important documents such as shareholder agreements, employer policies and procedures, and employee contracts must be drafted, reviewed and executed.

Our firm, in conjunction with your accountant, provides the following services for entrepreneurs:

• Selection of the proper business/operating entity
• Limited liability companies (LLCs), S corporations, C corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships, among others
• Creation, review, execution and filing of all necessary documentation
• Articles of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, commercial leases, employer policies and procedures, employee contracts and vendor contracts, among others
