We can help you choose the best entity for your business needs.

The type of entity a future business owner chooses to form and the ownership structure is important for a variety of reasons such as how the entity operates, how it will be taxed, how its assets are protected, how it can grow, and its future succession. At NW Legacy Law, our business planning attorneys advise clients in both Washington and Oregon. We help our clients to choose the best entities for their circumstances and goals, the most effective ownership structure, and then guide them so their business ideas can thrive as business realities.

We can meet with you and explain your options for choosing a business entity, as well as the benefits and drawbacks involved for choices, including:

  • Limited Liability Companies (LLC)
  • C corporations
  • S corporations
  • Professional Service Corporations (PS)
  • General and Limited Partnerships
  • Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP)

Once you have decided on the right entity for you, we can assist you in preparing the entity’s formation documents which includes filings made with the Secretary of State, other required state licensing, as necessary, and initial IRS paperwork. We can also assist you in on-going corporate governance along with developing, drafting, negotiating any necessary agreements – including employment contracts, purchase and sale agreements for real estate, and business mergers and acquisitions.
