Business Law

Starting or owning a business can be a complicated enterprise.  Business people rarely have the time to review and keep up to date with the complex laws governing business. The complicated interrelationships between tax regulations, state codes and business requirements affect the different types of business structures.  The type of structure you choose for your business should fit not only the way you practice business but should fit together with your entire estate plan and financial planning.  The way you plan your business and the particular structure you use can have long-term consequences on planning for business succession and transfers to your family and loved ones.
