Corporate Transactions
Before I began to pursue estate planning, probate and trust administration as part of my firm’s core business, I spent seven (7) years with Arthur Andersen LLP in that firm’s tax department after receiving a special master of laws degree, an LL.M., in taxation from the University of Miami. So, for over fourteen (14) years, I have focused on assisting individuals and business entities (corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies) in the formation, development and security of their businesses.Typically, our relationship begins with assisting you with the decision of how your business entity should be structured, usually the choice of a sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company.Once you make your entity selection, the real work begins. I will not only assist in the formation of that profit or not-for-profit entity with the proper state and federal government agencies but also prepare all of the documents you need to begin doing business with your partners, employees, independent contractors, vendors, private lenders, institutional lenders, franchisees, joint venturers and/or investment groups. The documents include:
- Shareholder Agreements, Partnership Agreement and LLC Operating Agreements
- Buy-Sell Agreements
- Corporate Redemption Agreements
- All corporate governance documents (minutes, resolutions, consents)
- Employment Agreements and Independent Contractor Agreements
- Disassociation Agreements
- Asset Purchase Agreements, Stock Purchase Agreements and Plans of Merger/Merger Agreements
