Douglas R. Thompson, P.C. represents both business and individuals in the legal aspects of buying and selling business; forming corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies; preparation of agreements, leases and other business contracts, Secretary of State research, and representation of entities and owners in any other way needed.
- Buying and Selling a Business: You will need legal representation whether you are buying or selling a business. We can help you plan, structure and document the transaction to protect your interests and achieve the desired result.
- Forming Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships: We can also obtain employer identification numbers (EIN), make subchapter S elections, and help you maintain all your corporate minutes and records. We can economically and promptly form any type of corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other business entity.
- Preparation of Agreements, Leases, and other Business Contracts: Before signing any business agreement, you should have it reviewed by an attorney. If you don't have a written agreement or if you are operating with a verbal agreement, we can help draft a written agreement to protect your business. We can help you review and document your business agreements to protect your rights and keep misunderstandings from taking valuable time and money from your business. Today's business climate favors those that "have it in writing". We can review and draft agreements involving the purchase and sale of real estate, leases, employment and termination/severance agreements, sales agreements, stock options, and any other type of business agreement.
- Real Estate: We can transfer residential or commercial properties to new individual or corporate owners.
