business transactions

You plan to start a business in the State of California and you need legal opinion on the pros and cons of each type of business entities: sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, and corporation. You may contact us to schedule a 15-minute free consultation to discuss what is the best choice for you. After you make the decision, we will take care of the necessary CA Secretary of State filing and prepare the entity's governing document for you. 

Contracts are the backbone for every business. When you hire someone, you might need an employment agreement. When you import or export goods, your might need a purchase agreement. When you engage the services of professionals, you might need a service agreement. We will work with you to prepare the contract pertaining to your needs. 

It could be a preschool business, a restaurant, a franchise, a factory, or certain IP rights, etc. No matter what you are selling or buying, we are here to help you navigate the entire process, including without limitation, the initial negotiation, finalizing the purchase and sale agreement, legal due diligence and closing. 

Instead of buying assets, you decide to invest in a business by purchasing certain ownership interests. You want to have a clear picture of this business, such as its background, material contracts, litigation or threatened litigation, assets and debts, compliance issues, etc. We will conduct legal due diligence to assist you to make an informed decision of the investment. No matter it is a purchase of ownership interest from an existing shareholder or member, or a subscription of shares or membership interests from the business itself, we will be at your side to monitor the entire deal.  

When you need a legal opinion letter about the standing of a California business entity, or a legal opinion letter about certain agreements governed under the laws of the State of California, feel free to contact us.
