CORPORATE DOCUMENT DRAFTING REVIEW
Most businesses need corporate documents to carry out their daily business activities. We have advised many individuals and businesses on their business practices and have worked with them to create corporate documents that govern their business transactions.
For example, we have created: Operating Agreements, Corporate By-Laws, Partnership Agreements, Joint Venture Agreements, Marketing Affiliate Agreements, and many more. In addition to drafting corporate documents, we can also review documents drafted by other attorneys or businesses.
We will work with you to make sure you understand the implications of any agreement before you enter into it. We will advise you on the right decision for your business based on our years of legal and business knowledge. At Katz Durell, we have the expertise and knowledge to carefully draft and review corporate documents for your business.

ENTITY FORMATION
Choosing the right business entity is the most crucial aspect of beginning a new business. Before you can choose a business entity, it is important to consider various questions such as: how much liability you want to be exposed to, how you want your business to be taxed, and how you want your business to be managed.
Once you have decided on the right business entity for you, you may be required to file various documents with the Secretary of State and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). These documents include Transmittal Information, Articles of Organization, Application for EIN (Form SS-4), Entity Classification Election (Form 8832), and an Operating Agreement. One of the biggest mistakes new business owners make is not hiring an attorney to form their business entity.
Often individuals attempt to form their business entity by themselves and incorrectly file the aforementioned documents with the Secretary of State and the IRS. Incorrectly filing these documents can have detrimental consequences such as tax liability and potentially losing the benefits of limited liability if there is a judgment against your business.
​
At Katz Durell we have extensive knowledge and experience with forming various business entities, particularly Limited Liability Companies. We can make the process of forming your business entity simple and easy, so you can focus on making your new business a success.
In addition to creating business entities for domestic companies, we also have experience in creating subsidiaries for foreign holding companies. The process for creating subsidiaries for a foreign holding company is different than that of a domestic company. There are various tax elections that need to be properly completed before these entities can exist. Therefore, it is important that you consult with an attorney before attempting to create this type of business entity on your own.
