How Pennsylvania Business Lawyers Can Help with Business Formation

One specific area of business law we have significant experience in is business formation. Many important legal concerns may arise in the business formation process, such as personal liability, financial rights, tax implications, management rights, and other considerations.

There are two critical steps to business formation that our lawyers will guide you through: 1) selecting the right business entity type for your situation, and 2) drafting a governing business agreement. Note that Pennsylvania recognizes many different types of businesses, and you should select one of the following categories for your business:

• Corporations
• Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”)
• General Partnerships
• Limited Partnerships
• Limited Liability Partnerships (“LLPs”)
• Business Trusts
• Sole Proprietorships

After selecting the type of business you are forming, you should proceed to the drafting of a governing agreement, such as a:

• shareholder agreement (corporations);
• operating agreement (LLCs);
• partnership agreement.
