We regularly advise entrepreneurs and companies of all sizes in structuring, including start-up companies, complex real estate holding companies, and the complicated relationships and issues involved. We provide consultation at the formative stage to help identify the appropriate legal structure and assist clients to properly document and establish operations. We work with business clients to understand their industries, goals, and challenges and take advantage of opportunities with creative but pragmatic legal counsel. As transactions and other needs arise, these efforts establish a solid foundation for growth and success.
