Business Formation

At William Hughes and Cook, we assist new ventures and growing businesses with business formation.  The quality of legal representation during business planning and formation can have a significant and far-reaching effect on your company’s profits, the personal liability of the owners, and the ability to take advantage of other business opportunities as they arise.

Business forms such as sole proprietorships, joint ventures, partnerships, limited liability partnerships, S-corporations, C-corporations, and limited liability companies, involve specific benefits and risks, primarily related to taxation, personal liability, and management/ operational control.  High expenses from taxation, insurance, and business disputes can drain profits.  Poorly drafted agreements may prevent a business from reacting to the market.  Smart planning now can save a huge amount of money and frustration later on.

Whether you are contemplating a new venture or are involved in small business planning, our attorneys are committed to providing high quality service at a reasonable cost.
