Q. My partner and I are starting a business venture and acquiring a business location. Do we need an attorney?
A. Yes. Your attorney can help you choose a limited liability company, partnership, or corporation as your business entity. The attorney can prepare the organizational documents and address financial, governance, licensing and business succession issues. An attorney should review your real estate lease or purchase agreement and your bank loan documents to limit your personal liability. As your business matures, you will need contracts with clients, employment and non-competition agreements, merger and sale contracts, and organizational document modifications.
