Corporate Law

We can help you form your corporation by filing your articles of incorporation with your local Secretary of State. Your corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners and shareholders.  This protects everyone involved from legal and tax liabilities.
State laws and your corporate bylaws govern the duties of your shareholders. Your shareholders govern your corporation. They elect the board of directors. The board of directors elects corporate officers who actually run your corporation.

As an entity set apart from its shareholders, directors, and officers, your corporation continues to exist even in the event that something happens to the people who own it and operate it.
We represent the legal interests of all kinds of corporations:

  • Close corporations
  • Professional corporations
  • S corporations
  • Nonprofit corporations
  • Guilds
  • General corporations
  • Partnerships
  • Trusts
  • Unincorporated associations

Consider the benefits of incorporation

The law recognizes a corporation as a person. This person exists in an identity that is distinct from everyone else involved with the enterprise. The arrangement makes doing business more efficient. It limits personal liability for all the people who own and run your corporation. And its tax advantages make it the most popular way to do business in today’s global market.
