Our corporate and business attorneys routinely form and counsel corporations in Connecticut, New York, Delaware, and everywhere else that our clients do business.
The central appeal of corporations, of course, is to protect owners from claims against the business. Corporations can be taxed as separate entities or as pass-through vehicles, so proper planning is important. We frequently prepare shareholder agreements, to set forth the understanding of the owners concerning management, capital contributions, distributions, and buy-out in case of death, disability, withdrawal, or retirement. We also assist corporations with financing, contracts, acquisitions, employee compensation, restrictive covenants, nondisclosure agreements, and the like.
