Business Formation

We counsel owners on the choice of entity, taking time to discuss personal liability, taxation, management structure, profit sharing and other pros and cons of each. We can then address all aspects of formation and start up:
  • Limited liability company and the operating agreement
  • Corporation (S corp or C corp) and the shareholder agreement
  • Limited partnerships and partnership agreements
  • Sole proprietorship
  • Articles of incorporation and filings with the state
  • Buy-sell agreements
  • Business succession planning
  • Purchase or lease of commercial property
  • Development applications for site plan, subdivision or variances
  • Franchising
  • financing
  • Business Dissolution
Business Formation & Dissolution

Owners may choose to end operations for many reasons: lack of profitability, other ventures, personality conflicts, or issues arising in their personal lives. The State of New Jersey is strict about the steps to follow in dissolving a business. The business or partnership dissolution and partition are resolved in Chancery Court, while other real estate matters are resolved in Superior Court. We have extensive experience in all venues.

We are also experienced addressing shareholder and partner disputes, including full-fledged dissolution. The issues can be hotly contested and solutions can be complex. If a resolution cannot be reached, we are prepared to ask the Court for relief or defend our clients' position in Court.
