Common Questions
The choice of business structure is critical as it affects your liability, tax obligations, and ability to raise capital. Generally, sole proprietorships and partnerships offer simplicity and tax advantages but provide no personal liability protection. Corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) offer liability protection but are more complex and costly to establish and maintain. The decision should be based on factors like the potential risks of your business, your financial needs, and your plans for growth.
Key elements to look for in a contract include clear definitions of the scope of work, terms of payment, deadlines, and responsibilities of all parties. Ensure there are clauses covering termination conditions, dispute resolution, and confidentiality as needed. It's crucial to understand every clause fully—avoid vague language that could be open to interpretation.
Yes, it's highly advisable to engage an attorney for mergers and acquisitions. Their role is to conduct due diligence, which involves a thorough review of the target company's legal and financial health. They also draft and negotiate the terms of the acquisition agreement, ensure compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements, and assist in the smooth transfer of assets and liabilities.
