Our NYC Business Law Services

Business Formations & Entity Structuring

Choosing the right business entity is one of the most consequential decisions you will make as an entrepreneur or business owner. The entity you select — LLC, corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship — determines your personal liability exposure, tax treatment, management flexibility, and ability to raise capital. We guide clients through entity selection, formation, and structuring to create the strongest possible legal foundation for their business.

Business Formations & Entity Structuring

LLC formation, corporate incorporation, partnership agreements, operating agreements, and entity selection guidance.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Buying or selling a business is one of the most complex transactions an entrepreneur or company will undertake. From the initial letter of intent through due diligence, deal structuring, definitive agreements, and closing, M&A transactions require careful legal management at every stage. We represent buyers and sellers in asset purchases, stock acquisitions, mergers, and management buyouts.

→

Mergers & Acquisitions

Asset purchases, stock acquisitions, due diligence, deal structuring, and transaction negotiation.

Commercial Contracts

Contracts are the backbone of every business relationship. A well-drafted contract protects your interests, clearly defines expectations, and provides a framework for resolving disputes if they arise. A poorly drafted or reviewed contract can expose you to significant liability, unexpected costs, and operational disruptions. We draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts of all types.

→

Commercial Contracts

Service agreements, vendor contracts, licensing agreements, NDAs, and commercial dispute resolution.

Corporate Governance & Compliance

Proper corporate governance protects business owners, maintains entity liability protections, and ensures regulatory compliance. Whether you are a closely held LLC or a multi-shareholder corporation, maintaining appropriate governance practices is essential. We advise on governance structures, prepare corporate resolutions, assist with regulatory filings, and help businesses navigate compliance requirements.

→

Corporate Governance & Compliance

Board resolutions, regulatory filings, corporate restructuring, succession planning, and compliance programs.

Nonprofit Organizations

Forming and operating a nonprofit in New York requires navigating a distinct set of legal requirements. From incorporation and IRS 501(c)(3) applications through board governance and ongoing compliance with the NYS Attorney General's Charities Bureau, nonprofits face regulatory obligations that differ significantly from for-profit entities. We help founders, boards, and organizations establish and maintain compliant, effective nonprofit structures.

→

Nonprofit Organizations

501(c)(3) formation, IRS applications, board governance, charitable registration, and nonprofit compliance.

Trademark & Service Mark Registration

Your business name, logo, and brand identity are valuable intellectual property. Federal trademark registration with the USPTO provides nationwide protection, the legal presumption of validity, and the ability to enforce your rights in federal court. We handle clearance searches, registration, maintenance, and licensing.

→

Trademark & Service Mark Registration

USPTO filings, trademark searches, brand protection, office action responses, and trademark licensing.
