General Corporate Counseling
Strickland Brockington Lewis’s corporate counseling includes formation of new legal entities, basic business planning and counseling on day-to-day business activities. We prepare all manner of business agreements, including nondisclosure and noncompete agreements, employment contracts, shareholder agreements and operating agreements. When clients are the subject of those agreements, we review them for enforceability.
- Corporate Structure
While many companies offer discount incorporation services today, incorporation by a lawyer provides benefits in formation and ensuring the new company meets its legal obligations moving forward. There are a number of alternative methods of corporate structure now, including Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs). Choosing the right structure for your business involves a personal review. In addition, the creation of LLCs requires the drafting of a solid operating agreement that governs the business and its operations.
Strickland Brockington Lewis is ready to assist your new or existing company with formation, design of corporate structure, and the initial steps necessary to ensure you receive the full protections of incorporating.
- Ongoing Advising
Corporations often find that a large portion of day-to-day legal issues are employment-related. Strickland Brockington Lewis is prepared to assist your company in maintaining its corporate responsibilities, drafting appropriate agreements with employees and vendors to protect your company, and providing advice about your corporate responsibilities. SBL functions in the role of general counsel to several corporations, and helps ensure they avoid litigation by proper maintenance of the company’s legal property.
SBL is ready to assist your new or existing company with its compliance duties under state and federal law, and review of agreements for your business.
