Business Formation and Governance
LLCs, Corporations, and Partnerships
Whether you are building a business from the ground up, or are running an established enterprise, some of the most important decisions you make revolve around how the company is to be governed. Who sets the long-term goals? Who runs the day-to-day operations? Who speaks for the business? What happens when a current executive or partner leaves the company or retires? Are decisions made by one person or by several people? How do the executives decide — by majority vote or by unanimous consent? The experienced commercial attorneys at Munger • Denker • Ruiz • Barbour provide invaluable assistance to businesses of all sizes in developing governance structures that meet their particular needs.
Whether it’s helping a start-up choose between an LLC or a corporation as the best structure for the business, helping a large conglomerate with the formation of a subsidiary, helping a business adopt or modify its governing documents, helping a business owner plan for succession when it comes time to pass the reins to someone else, or any other legal aspect of running a business, Munger • Denker • Ruiz • Barbour can help you keep your business on-track and running smoothly.
