Common questions

General information, not legal advice for your situation.

Which type of entity should I choose?

It depends on liability, taxes, ownership and how you plan to raise money or exit. We compare the options for your situation, often with your accountant.

Do I need a written agreement with my business partners?

Yes. A written agreement settles ownership, decisions and exit terms before disagreements arise.

Can you help a business with foreign owners or employees?

Yes. Our International and Immigration services work alongside business law.
