Lueders, Robertson & Konzen LLC will represent your Business legal matters.
Business Entity Formation
Deciding upon the right corporate form under which to organize your business is an important initial step in starting any company. The state of Illinois recognizes a myriad of different entities, including corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and the new low-profit limited liability company (L3C). The choice of entity can have a profound impact on issues regarding taxes and profitability, protection from liability, management and control issues, and flexibility in operations.
Our experienced business attorneys can advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of the various corporate forms. We prepare the necessary documents to form the entity that best meets your needs, and further assist with recordkeeping and reporting requirements to make sure your business stays in compliance with state and federal laws.
Transactions and Litigation
We regularly assist established companies in negotiating, preparing, and reviewing contracts, leases, employment agreements, and other necessary documents. Legal assistance at this early stage can help prevent problems from arising down the road; when problems do arise, whether in employment matters or contract disputes, our attorneys act to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible.
Creditors' Rights
We also assist credit unions and other business creditors in asserting their rights in debt collections, enforcing judgments, executing mortgage and lien foreclosures, recovering property, attacking fraudulent transfers, and obtaining other remedies regarding the object of their secured or unsecured debt.
