Corporate Law
If you don’t know which type of entity is right for your start-up business, or you find that your existing business is running you instead of the other way around, you’re not alone. Praxis Legal Solutions has worked with start-ups and established businesses for more than 20 years to help them identify and implement solutions that work best for them.
We are a “corporate generalist” firm; our experience and expertise covers a broad range of problems that business owners face on a day-to-day basis.
For Established Businesses
Business owners know that a well-organized business is like a well-built house. Regular maintenance is key to maintaining an efficient operation over time, freeing business owners to work on their businesses, and not on legal issues. Praxis can meet all the legal needs of your business, including updating corporate documents, employment polices and practices, and ensuring that the operation of a business complies with all applicable laws and regulations. We handle all types of transactions, including the acquisition or sale of businesses and business assets, software licensing, commercial leases and contracts for the sale or purchase of goods and services.
For Start-Up and New Businesses
If you’re considering starting a business, the options and legal hoops and hurdles can be overwhelming and time consuming, preventing you from focusing on activities that generate the revenue you need to make your business a success. Praxis can help you determine what type of entity (C-corporation, S-corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or sole proprietorship) will be best-suited to help you reach your business and financial goals.
When we learn the basics of your business (the products or services you will provide, whether you will be a sole owner or will have partners or co-owners, your market and physical location), Praxis can consider all the factors relevant to identify the type of entity that will best serve your needs. We prepare and file the necessary formation documents, and guide you through the process of securing any registrations, permits or licenses that may be required for your business.
Regardless of the stage of your business, Praxis can help you organize the governance of your business by drafting by-laws, operating agreements or buy/sell agreements that provide for the operation of the entity and the orderly unwinding of a business or business relationship.
Contact Praxis Legal Solutions today for a consultation about a potential or existing business. With our broad range of experience, we can answer most questions facing a new or established business owner, and if you need assistance on a matter that we do not handle; for example, tax or litigation, we can refer you to a specialist that we know and trust.
