We provide a comprehensive range of services throughout the life of the business cycle, from formation through sale or dissolution:

Entity choice, tax and business planning, and financing: A host of considerations go into whether the client may choose a corporation — S or C, limited liability company, partnership, limited partnership or other type of entity. We can draft and file the necessary formation documents. In addition, we provide new owners with a “users manual” for their new business, which usually includes a description of the main features of the entity’s governing document — operating agreement, partnership agreement, bylaws — and examples of necessary periodic business reports such as shareholder resolutions or annual meeting minutes.

On-going general counsel: Luvaas Cobb can support your business with practical day-to-day business law advice in the areas of tax, contracts, commercial transactions, real estate transactions (including acquisitions and commercial leases) and employment matters.

Business Succession Planning: A necessary part of the business planning process involves strategies for the smooth transition of the business to family members, business partners and/or key employees. Luvaas Cobb attorneys can help you make effective use of minority ownership discounts and advise you with respect to closely-related tax and estate planning issues. Once we help our clients devise a business succession plan, we can help implement the plan by coordinating and drafting buy-sell or share transfer agreements.
