General Counsel

A General Counsel helps you navigate the legal matters and issues that your business faces. Whether you have a question about a contract, legal document, or applicability of a law to your business, a General Counsel provides guidance to help you make informed decisions in running your business. When specialized outside counsel is required for a particular matter, a General Counsel can help identify competent attorneys and coordinate and supervise their efforts. A General Counsel is a great asset that helps you ensure the long-term viability and success of your business.

​

Formation
Get your business properly registered with the state(s) you operate in, and avoid creating any accounts or providing any information you don’t need to. We’ll handle your business formation and get it done the right way, guaranteed.

​

Founding Documents

Operating/Partnership Agreement Drafting and Review (LLCs, Partnerships)
Choosing the right business structure and having well-written founding documents are essential to the long-term success of your business. We’ll help you choose the right business structure and work with you to draft your founding documents to meet your needs.

 

Articles of Incorporation Drafting and Review (Corporations)
As the foundational document of a corporation, having well-drafted articles of incorporation is essential to proper governance of your business. If you aren’t sure that you understand your articles of incorporation or need help drafting from scratch, we can help you ensure that this important document is done correctly.
 

Bylaws Drafting and Review (Corporations)
Like the articles of incorporation, the importance of good bylaws cannot be overstated. Whether you need help understanding your existing bylaws or want to draft a new bylaws document from the ground up, we’ll help you make sure that your corporation is set up for success.
 

Audit / Review

There are many things that business owners don’t know that they don’t know, and the risk can be high when it comes to legal requirements and compliance. We’ll conduct an audit of your current documents and filings to ensure that your legal house is in order. We'll also make sure that your founding documents are in good order and that you are aware of and compliant with any requirements imposed by those documents.

​

Contracts

Whether it is a lease agreement or a contract with a service provider, we can review your contract and provide you with important insights into what you are signing. If you need a new contract drafted, we will work with you to write an agreement that protects your interests and accomplishes your business objectives.

​

Website Services

If you have a website, you’ll likely need a good Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We’ll draft those important documents for you and guide you in adding them to your website. Your website may also be required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, so we’ll help you understand if your website is subject to that law and then guide you in becoming compliant with its requirements. 

​

Employment Agreements

Even in at-will employment states, the importance of an employment agreement cannot be overstated. We will help ensure that your employment agreements adequately protect your business and its interests, whether you have W2 employees or 1099 independent contractors.

​

Commercial Transaction

When purchasing inventory, entering into long-term sales agreements, or negotiating contracts with other businesses, it is important to understand the often looked-over boilerplate terms. We'll make sure that you understand what you're signing and help you ensure that the language of the agreements you enter into protects your business and its interests.

​

Basic Financing (Debt/Equity)

If your business needs to raise funds, we can help you with equity purchase agreements, convertible notes, sale of shares, and more.

​

Executive Leadership Meeting Attendance

Strategic legal guidance and advice can be an important part of high-level discussions and decisions. It is far better to understand the legal consequences of a decision or plan prior to execution than to play clean-up after the fact.

 

Corporate Governance and Compliance

All business entities are subject to important governance requirements, and you have an obligation to properly document compliance with those requirements. We’ll instruct you on and help you comply with these requirements.

​

Registered Agent Service
Every business requires a registered agent. If you don’t want your personal information made publicly available, let us handle your registered agent requirements.

 

Subsidiary Extension

If your business has a wholly-owned subsidiary, we'll provide our services for that subsidiary at a discounted rate. Contact us to learn more.
