Here are some of the services we provide to business owners in the Corpus Christi, Texas area, including Victoria, McAllen, Kingsville, and Rockport:

Business Formation

Our clients form business entities for a variety of reasons.  Some business owners want to form a new business entity to ensure that what happens in the new business remains entirely separate from their existing business.  Other clients are very concerned about liability and want to protect their personal assets from adverse consequences relating to their business.   Others form business entities for tax reasons, or to begin a joint venture with a business partner.

We often provide advice and consultation to small business owners and entrepreneurs to help them choose the right form of business entity to reach their goals.  Those choices may include:

• Partnerships
• Limited Partnerships (LP)
• Limited Liability Corporations (LLC)
• Professional Associations
• Professional Corporations
• Nonprofit Corporations
• Professional Limited Liability Corporations (PLLC)
• Corporations

General Legal Services

Because of our vast experience handling the legal issues faced by businesses, we often provide general legal services to small and medium-sized businesses that do not have their own in-house legal staff.  We assist clients in such areas as:

• Legal contracts
• Tax planning
• Employment law
• Business asset sales
• Stock sales or buyouts
• Acquisitions

Business Succession Planning

For many of our small business clients, their business is their most important asset and a major part of the estate they want to pass on to their children.  In conjunction with our estate planning services, we can help small business owners plan for the next generation of business ownership by creating Family Limited Partnerships and Family Limited Liability Corporations.  These entities allow for the transfer of family-owned business interests to children without the necessity of going through probate.  Business succession planning can additionally help minimize tax consequences and also spell out management plans and ownership transition plans for the business.
