Choosing the right entity (e.g. partnership, limited partnership, LLC, S Corp, C Corp, Corporation, etc.) for your line of work, your future goals, and to maximize your income as you begin is crucial for the long term success of your business.  We helps clients make the right decision for their business.  Additionally, we understand the importance of having an accountant involved in these discussions, and they are ready to work with the accountant of your choice or help you find an accountant that will meet your needs.

To many business owners corporate record books, annual meetings, and resolutions feel like a formality that has no bearing on their day-to-day operations.  However, corporate records can be the difference between a plaintiff "piercing the corporate veil" or not.  In other words, if you are sued because your company, your company's agents, or you as a business owner caused harm to a third party, you must have proper business records in order to take advantage of the limited liability your choice of entity provides.  Dave is experienced in running board meetings, drafting resolutions, and keeping operation agreements (or other governing documents) up to date.  By hiring Aspen Grove Integrative Law, you will help ensure that (as far as corporate records go) you are protected from personal liability.  Please seek legal advice and counsel on this matter, as the test and elements for piercing the corporate veil are much more complex than corporate records; however, corporate records and formalities are one very important step in that analysis.

Employees are a crucial part of any growing business.  When you hire Aspen Grove Integrative Law to counsel you on your business organization or planning, you also are hiring attorneys trained in employment and labor law.  This gives you a unique advantage as your business begins to expand and you begin dealing with employees.  Small businesses do not often have the capacity to have their own HR departments.  Having Aspen Grove Integrative Law on your side will give you lawyers to consult with about tricky and unsettling employment decisions in the context of your business plan so that you can avoid litigation.  Wouldn't you rather spend your time and money making your business successful than worrying about employment issues?
