Business Start-Up:
We at BP&A know that starting up a business can be a very complex and confusing process. The business owner has many decisions to make that will have an impact down the road. That is why at BP&A we work with our clients to assess their situation and make recommendations as to the best course of action. Our goal is to provide our clients with the information they need to make informed decisions.
After deciding to start and operate your own business the next decision is what form your business should take. The form of entity selected for the conduct of a business greatly impacts the daily operations of the business and the income tax consequences to both the business and its owners. We at BP&A assist clients with this step of business formation by reviewing the goals and individual facts present in each situation to recommend the best entity - selecting from limited/general partnerships, limited liability companies, or corporations, and the different elections or options available under each. We advise clients from the initial conference and decision-making, through document preparation and filing with appropriate authorities, to post-formation activities such as preparation and adoption of bylaws, director/shareholder resolutions, as well as ongoing advice and counsel.
We continue to provide advice and counsel clients with respect to reorganizations, dissolutions, corporate or other business entity practices and procedures, shareholder and other investor relationships and agreements, pension plans, employee benefit plans and other corporate or business transactions.
Business Transactions:
As is often the case in transactional matters, time is of the essence. Because of our own experience in the corporate world and our dealings with clients, we at BP&A can take a pragmatic approach to a business objective. We know how a business runs and we understand the difference between a business decision and a legal decision. We have worked with business owners and managers for years. Therefore, we know how to study a problem from a business perspective. Unlike lawyers without practical experience in the business world, we natural "think outside the box" during the process of providing a wide variety of transactional services, including:
1. Documenting and advising clients in real estate purchase/sale contracts, commercial leasing, zoning and municipal matters including subdivisions, variances, special permits, and related appeals.
2. Buying and selling businesses and business interests, including stock and asset purchases and sales, management and leveraged buyouts, and mergers; management of due diligence investigations from buyer and seller perspectives.
3. Drafting and reviewing employment, stock option, employee nondisclosure, non-competition, and non-solicitation agreements.
4. Drafting and reviewing stockholder agreements, including cross-purchase, redemption, insurance-funded buyout, and voting trusts.
5. From negotiations to drafting to final review, each stage of contract development is crucial to obtaining the goals of the parties.
