Experienced Louisiana Business Lawyer Assists with the Formation of Large and Small Businesses

BUSINESS FORMATION

Any time a business forms or reorganizes, there are legal questions that need to be addressed. For instance, does it make more sense to set up your business as an LLC or an S corporation? Do all owners have equal voting rights and if so, how will conflicts be resolved? Since 1980, Cecily Salley has been advising Louisiana businesses on a wide array of issues in the oil and gas, real estate, maritime, retail and food and drug industries, among others.

SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE ENTITY FOR YOUR NEW BUSINESS

There are many considerations when choosing the appropriate business entity, such as ownership, governance, capitalization, taxation and liability. Cecily Salley can consider your plans and objectives and help you weigh the pros and cons of your various options, which include:

  • Sole proprietorship
  • General partnership
  • Limited partnership
  • Limited Liability Partnership
  • Limited Liability Limited Partnership
  • Limited Liability Company
  • Professional Limited Liability Company
