Corporate Formation

Many people have great business ideas. However, we fail to remember in our entrepreneurial haste that businesses, no matter how well-intentioned, can fail. The way to protect your own personal assets from this foreseeable possibility is to create a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). In many cases, you can completely insulate you and your family from losses, lawsuits, and liens incurred by the business. In fact, you don’t even have to be a “businessperson” to consider the need for incorporation. Many people today work as “consultants” and “independent contractors” or as “sales distributors” for large companies. In addition to insulation of assets and protection from liabilities, corporate status often has many tax advantages even for a relatively small business.

Finally, if you do form a corporation, I can act as your registered agent, which means I receive all corporate correspondence and any legal communication addressed to your corporation, help prepare annual reports, and in other ways allow you to do what you do best, which is run your business.

Condominiums and Real Estate

Purchasing a home is an expensive and emotional experience. You have the chaos of moving money around, getting approved for a loan, packing, picking paint colors, and trying to figure out which way mortgage rates are trending. In the midst of all this, you add the stress of a real estate contract, which is written in very small type with lots of legalese. But why worry; you’re only spending hundreds of thousands of dollars? Did that scare you? It should! So many educated, successful people try to save a few hundred dollars by negotiating and closing upon a real estate deal themselves. This is preposterous, of course, when hiring a real estate lawyer can eliminate many of the inequities in the real estate contract, help you negotiate any problems discovered with the property, and explain the legal implications of these complexly worded documents to you.

Once you do own a condominium or town home, there can be legal disputes with neighbors, decisions as to how to manage the association, and other things that you simply never contemplated when you decided to buy your place. While everyone hopes to have perfect relationships with his or her neighbors, disputes can occur. Often, getting good legal advice early on can eliminate future problems and aid in the harmony to which all neighbors aspire.
