How it works
Our process
01
Business intake consultation
We learn about your business, your goals, and the specific legal issue at hand. We then outline a clear scope of work and flat or hourly fee — no ambiguity about what you’re paying for.
02
Document drafting or review
We draft or review the relevant documents (formation papers, contracts, agreements) and walk you through each provision in plain language so you understand what you’re signing.
03
Negotiation & revision
Where the other side is involved, we negotiate on your behalf, handle revisions, and flag any terms that create unacceptable risk for your business.
04
Execution & ongoing support
Once documents are finalized we help with execution, filing where required, and remain available as your business grows and new legal questions arise.
Common questions
Business law FAQ
Once documents are finalized we help with execution, filing where required, and remain available as your business grows and new legal questions arise.
It depends on your goals. LLCs offer flexibility, pass-through taxation, and simpler governance, ideal for most small businesses and solo operators. C-Corps are better suited if you plan to raise venture capital or have many shareholders. We’ll walk you through the tradeoffs based on your specific business model and tax situation.
I’m a foreign national starting a business in the U.S. — what do I need?
Foreign nationals can own and operate U.S. LLCs and corporations. The process involves entity formation, obtaining an EIN, and opening a U.S. bank account. If you also need work authorization to operate the business personally, we can advise on visa options — including E-2 investor visas and L-1 intracompany transfers — drawing on our immigration practice.
Do I really need a lawyer to review a contract?
Not always — but the contracts that matter most almost always contain terms that shift risk in ways that aren’t obvious at first read. A one-time review typically costs far less than resolving a dispute over an unreviewed clause. We offer flat-fee contract review so you know the cost upfront.
