AJ Esquire’s corporate practice group works with new business organizations in all aspects of business planning, entity selection, formation process, tax structure, and corporate governance. The initial selection and structuring of your business affects both personal and business issues related to tax, debt liability and managerial control. Whether it’s a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or any permutation of these structures, we advise clients on their options to make the best strategic choice.
For existing businesses, AJ Esquire counsels clients for their contractual, transactional, regulatory, day-to-day, and long-term corporate strategies. We work with economic and operating partners to identify potential legal and business risks in a transaction, lawsuit, or other business event and advise on efficient and profitable solutions. We structure business and finance transactions through numerous contracts:
- Business formation and governance documents: articles, by-laws, partnership, joint venture, and operating agreements.
- Corporate filings including transfers, amendments, dissolutions, and statutory agent services.
- Purchase/Sale/Transfer agreements including shareholder, partner and member interest/units.
- Asset Purchase Agreements.
- M&A agreements (buy & sell-side).
- Letters of intent, indications of interest, commitments, guaranties, confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-circumvention, and non-compete agreements.
- Legal opinions on capital and strategic transactions.
