FAQ about Corporate Law & Financial Transactions Legal Services
As an entrepreneur, there are many taxes, liabilities, and other legal concerns to be aware of in regard to your business. An experienced corporate attorney will know all the ins and outs to prepare your business model to mitigate risk and maximize revenues. Essentially, a corporate lawyer’s job is to structure deals to their clients’ advantage through a deep understanding of the particular business and its industry. Whether you are opening an LLC, nonprofit, or corporation, the attorneys at Scarinci Hollenbeck, LLC have the experience to assist you in launching your start-up off the ground.
A corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its owners. Corporations can be formed as a for-profit or non-profit entity. Corporations can enter into contracts, sue and be sued, own property, and borrow money. One important feature of a corporation is that it protects its owners from being personally liable for a corporation’s acts and omissions, provided that the owners respect and maintain the corporation’s “separate” status. Owners and directors maintain this separateness through holding directors and shareholder meetings, documenting corporate decisions and financials, basing their decisions on what is in the corporation’s best interests and not their personal best interests, and filing separate corporate income taxes.
What is corporate law and why is it important? Corporate law encompasses the laws, rules, and regulations that govern the formation and operations of business entities, such as corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs). These rules impact all of a business’ web of stakeholders (e.g., owners/shareholders, employees, investors, customers, and suppliers). Corporate laws exist to ensure that all corporations operate on a legally even playing field with protections for investors; this benefits both the business community and the communities they operate in.
Corporate law firms handle a variety of transactions, some of which are dependent on a law firm’s chosen practice areas. For instance, at Scarinci Hollenbeck, LLC we handle corporate matters including, but not limited to:
- Initial Public Offerings & Private Offerings
- Joint Ventures
- Serving as de facto in-house counsel for your growing company
- Developing the legal and business framework of your start-up or nonprofit organization
- Navigating investments, acquisitions, and contracts
- Working alongside hedge funds, private equity, and venture capital firms to secure financing
- Copyright & Trademark Filings
- Licensing & Franchising issues
- Business Formations and Structuring
- Reorganizations
- Mergers and Acquisitions
- Corporate Governance and Compliance advice
- Creating Personnel policies
- Advising on regulatory matters
- Creating real estate securities investment structures for LPs and REITs
Before an attorney assists you in this process, you must first develop and have a solid understanding of where you will be sourcing your investors. Our legal team will work with you to prepare all proper and necessary documentation while maintaining compliance with the law. You may have investors from venture capital funds, or angel investors. Both of these, for example, may require the drafting of stock purchase agreements or convertible notes. If your investors are your peers or a broker-dealer, our attorneys will likely prepare a private placement memorandum and subscription agreement. No two transactions are the same, but you can rest assured that our team will guide you seamlessly through the process.
Performing proper due diligence is a key part of completing a merger or acquisition (M&A). The legal due diligence involves collecting, understanding, and assessing all the legal risks connected with the purchase or sale of a particular business. This usually involves the target business providing their formation documents, financials, contracts, loans, and other operational documents. These documents are then evaluated to determine the risks associated with the transaction, which are then communicated to the client with recommendations on how to mitigate these risks. Scarinci Hollenbeck, LLC’s approach is to optimize the due diligence process where risks are quickly identified along with transaction and industry-specific solutions.
