Incorporation & Organization
When starting your business, it’s important to know that most of the paperwork is not just a fill-in-the-blank process. Organizing or incorporating a business means many options with potential legal and tax pitfalls for the novice. A good business attorney can make sure you are set up for the present as well as the future of your business. Contact our offices for questions about partnerships, fictitious names, sole proprietorships, corporations, limited liability companies, by-laws, and more.
Ministries & Non-Profits
Whether you are forming a new non-profit entity or are an existing ministry with questions about legal structure, operations, or unexpected changes or challenges, our offices have the experience to provide you with the right advice. Reach out to our offices to speak with a business attorney who has successfully assisted entities to obtain federal tax exempt status, advised churches with mortgage and other real estate issues, and ministries needing to prepare or review liability waivers, contracts, and many other legal matters.
Contracts
Whether you need to create a contract, or to have any type of business contract reviewed to ensure your interests are protected, a business attorney should be your first call. From drafting, to reviewing, to negotiating terms, the Law Offices of Douglas G. Miller can provide you with the necessary assistance for all your business contract needs.
Asset Purchases & Acquisitions
An asset purchase agreement sets out the terms and conditions involved in the sale and purchase of assets in a business. Whether you are looking to buy the ownership or the assets of a company, or if you are interested in selling an existing operation, seek the experience and knowledge of a business lawyer who can make sure your interests are protected in any purchase.
Succession Planning
Succession planning for small businesses is something that is often overlooked, but also essential. Without the necessary planning in place, many small businesses fail when the owner or senior member retires, becomes incapacitated, or dies. Developing a succession plan early with your business attorney will help protect the future of your business. Learn about unique options that may fit your business and provide you with comfort against the unexpected events in the future.
No matter how small a business issue may seem, it is important not to take chances. Our attorneys will work with you to make sure the future of your business is legally on track both for the short term and long term future.
