Business Transactions and Succession Planning

We provide legal counsel for small businesses and sole proprietorships, including corporations, general and limited partnerships, and limited liability companies, in many areas. We assist owners in the formation, operation, and transition of their businesses. When planning for the succession of a business owner, consideration should be given to:

• Family or non-family ownership
• Estate tax consequences
• Owner’s retirement income
• Family and/or partnership conflicts
• Instructions and arrangements for transfer of ownership upon disability or death of an owner
