Representation in Business Formation

My law office is located in Bellevue, Washington, and I work with clients in the Seattle area who are establishing businesses. I take the time to learn my clients' goals so that we can select and implement a structure that is compatible with those goals. The issues I review with my clients include the number of people involved, the purpose of the entity and what the incorporators or organizers are trying to accomplish. I consider all of these factors in advising clients on which entity can help minimize their liability risks, protect their assets and help accomplish their goals.

My services in the area of business formation include:

• Creating corporations, LLCs and partnerships
• Drafting and filing secretary of state documents such as articles of incorporation and certificates of formation
• Filing and submitting applications for required licenses
• Drafting internal governing or administrative documents, including by-laws, LLC agreements, partnership agreements, meeting minutes, employment agreements, shareholder agreements and option agreements
• Serving as the registered agent for the company
• Working cooperatively with my clients' accountants

My office is conveniently located near the intersection of I-405 and Route 520. Call for an appointment to discuss your business objectives and legal needs or contact me via e-mail.
