Corporate Law
Structuring and Operating your Business
Your corporation is born at incorporation, dies at dissolution, and allows you to shield yourself from liability while providing you a vehicle to work, invest, and prosper. Our office advises clients on the incorporation, maintenance, and management of their businesses. We support the entire life cycle of your company, with a focus on risk mitigation and corporate and regulatory compliance.
What is a corporate lawyer?
Corporate attorneys are lawyers who represent the companies they work for, not their owners or employees. Typically, large companies and even small businesses hire attorneys as their corporate counsel to ensure compliance with corporate laws and regulations. Our role as corporate counsel is to advise our clients of their rights, responsibilities, and duties under the law.
What is the Role of a Corporate Lawyer?
Corporate lawyers work to ensure the legality of business transactions. As corporate law is broader and encompasses many areas, many corporate lawyers specialize in a few of them.
What kind of work do corporate lawyers do?
A corporate lawyer's duties include:
Structuring corporate transactions and reorganizations
Drafting corporate documents
Verifying corporate compliance
Attending meetings and drafting minutes and resolutions and
Negotiating transactions on behalf of the company
A corporate lawyer's job is to handle all corporate legal matters, ensure that the provisions of agreements are explicit, not ambiguous, and will not cause issues for their clients in the future. Think of our firm as an extension of your team - your in-house counsel team.
What Are Corporate Law Firms?
A corporate lawyer generally serves business entities – not their shareholders or directors. As corporate lawyers, our role involves assisting companies with tax issues, mergers & acquisitions, company structure issues, employee relations, and state and federal regulatory compliance.
How Can I Get Legal Advice From A Corporate Lawyer?
Everyone should have legal representation. A corporate lawyer helps businesses comply and abide by regulations, but that is just an introduction. A corporate lawyer is always helpful when drafting business documents, reviewing contracts, overseeing commercial transactions, and handling other matters - before they become legal issues.
You don't have to solve this on your own – get a lawyer's help.
