Selecting the proper business entity can seem like a difficult task.
Our attorneys can guide you in determining whether to incorporate,
create a partnership or establish your business as one of many other
business entities available. We will work directly with your accountant
and the other members of your business planning team to make certain
that all aspects of your business are getting the attention they deserve.
A business continuation agreement between the shareholders, partners
and sometimes key employees of the business is an essential long-term
business planning tool. This agreement is often referred to as a Buy-Sell
Agreement and will provide for the sale or transfer of the shareholder's
or partner's interest in the business upon the happening of certain
events. These events often include death, disability, employment termination
and an owner's desire to get out of the business. The owners can establish
a business valuation method to determine the fair price for the shares
or business interest. These agreements often provide for the purchase
of life insurance on the life of the owners for the purpose of having
enough funds to purchase the deceased owner's share from the estate.
Reager & Adler will assist in getting the life insurance policies
in place and work with your insurance agent to complete this task.
Reager & Adler believes in the importance of practicing preventative
law. Preventative law focuses on the areas of the business that could
have a negative impact. Once these areas are determined, preventative
measures can be implemented so that legal problems can be averted.
This philosophy saves the business time and money. From drafting shareholder
agreements, employee manuals to corporate annual meetings, our firm
can provide the legal assistance you need.
There are times businesses find themselves in legal conflicts. We
can counsel businesses through a wide range of legal disputes. From
employment disputes to personal injury matters, Reager & Adler offers
a wide variety of legal expertise.
