Business
Law
Owning a business has a lot to do
with your estate planning. As a business owner, your business reflects
your goals and achievements and it can comprise the largest portion of
your estate. We work with business enterprises in all of their
developmental phases, from formation to succession, to help ensure
that their business strategies are consistent with their estate planning
strategies.
Business Formation
The Levin Law Firm counsels business
owners on the advantages and disadvantages of various business types,
whether sole proprietorships, Limited Liability Companies, Limited
Partnerships or Corporations. We then filter an understanding of your business through
the complexities of estate planning, taxes and management issues to
advise you and form the entity that makes the most sense for you.
“Mid-life” Business Counsel
Active businesses have an array of
needs, whether that means reviewing leases, negotiating agreements or
developing employment guidelines. We help guide your business and
give it the tools it needs to stay protected so it can remain focused
on growth and capital preservation.
Business Succession
Planning
What should
happen to your business in the event that you die, retire or become
disabled? Do you want it sold, dissolved or given to your children?
What if only one of your children wants to run your business? If the
business will go to your partner, how will you or your business
partner be assured either will have sufficient funds to purchase the
other’s share if there is a death or sudden need to retire? These may
be among the most important decisions in your estate planning process.
We can work with you to identify your key goals and map out a plan for
the orderly transfer of your business in a manner that satisfies your
goals.
