Selecting the Appropriate Business Entity

Based on each client's unique circumstances, I advise which business entity (or entities) is most appropriate to meet their objectives:

  • Limited liability companies (LLC)
  • Limited liability partnerships (LLP)
  • S Corporations
  • C Corporations
  • Limited partnerships
  • Corporations
  • Professional associations
  • Joint ventures

To determine the right business organization for a client, it is necessary to consider the potential taxation of the business and the potential dangers that are inherent in the particular kind of business or industry the client is in.

I represent a variety of clients, from individuals and families to professionals in the medical, real estate, and many other industries. I also represent closely-held businesses that require a diverse range of services.

Starting a Business: Changes in Texas Law

Occasional changes in Texas law modify the factors involved in business formation. I can help you weigh the benefits of each choice, considering the complexity of the structure and tax liability. While a more complicated structure may provide you with more protection, it may also be much more difficult to manage. I am able to advise clients in starting a business in an environment where the laws often change.

Ongoing Services for Your Business

Once your business has been formed, I can assist you with a multitude of ongoing business transactions in addition to creating an asset protection plan and a business succession plan that is compatible with your estate planning objectives.

Incorporating a Business in Texas

I help clients throughout the state decide whether incorporating in Texas is good for their business.
