What Manhattan Business Owners Should Know

Manhattan is the commercial center of New York City and one of the most competitive business environments in the world. Companies here face sophisticated counterparties, complex lease negotiations, aggressive intellectual property disputes, and regulatory requirements that demand experienced legal counsel. The margin for error on business law decisions is smaller in Manhattan than anywhere else.

Manhattan LLCs benefit from the lowest publication costs in New York City, as the New York County Clerk's designated newspapers tend to charge less than those in other boroughs. However, the publication requirement itself is mandatory and carries consequences for non-compliance. Our firm handles publication for Manhattan LLCs as part of our formation services.

Manhattan businesses with investors, multiple owners, or equity compensation plans face governance complexities that require proper documentation. Shareholder agreements, operating agreements with capital account provisions, and equity incentive plans all need to be drafted with care.
