The first step in starting a small business is often setting up a corporate entity to protect your personal assets.

Setting Up an Entity

If you’re ready to set up a new business, there is a dizzying array of questions you must now face. Our trademark and small business lawyers meet with each client, thoroughly reviewing their circumstances, resources, goals, and expectations in order to help them decide what type of business structure they would like to set up. Do you plan on bringing in investors? Do you plan to eventually sell the business? What sort of liability will your type of business incur? We address all these questions and then walk you through the process of acquiring a Taxpayer ID and setting up your business as a federal and state-recognized entity.

Our lawyers provide sophisticated and experienced services for our clients who own and operate small businesses. We handle new business formations, licensing and litigation. Our client-focused practice puts the clients’ needs first, and our attorneys work directly on our clients’ important legal matters. Because we operate without a bulky chain of command, our services are much more cost-effective compared to larger firms. If you're starting your own business, contact our attorneys to discuss how we can work for you.
