Starting a business or growing an established organization is an exciting journey. However, success involves more than just delivering a great product, service, or cause. At Davis, Ermis & Roberts, P.C., we provide comprehensive business law services to help you navigate potential challenges and opportunities. From forming a new business to handling complex litigation matters, our team is equipped to support your business needs.
Assistance in Business Law
Choosing the right business entity is crucial. Founders and investors must make informed decisions to limit tax liability and ensure business continuity. The structure of your business can also impact personal and business assets in the event of litigation. Our firm specializes in guiding local businesses through these critical decisions, offering legal advice tailored to meet current and future challenges.
Business Entity Formation
Limited Liability Companies (LLCs): An LLC provides limited liability protection to its owners and can offer tax benefits compared to a sole proprietorship.
Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs): LLPs offer liability protection for partners and potential tax advantages over sole proprietorships.
S Corporations: S Corps protect shareholders’ personal assets while allowing them to be taxed individually. LLCs can operate as S Corps.
C Corporations: C Corps are taxed separately from shareholders. LLCs can also choose to be taxed as C Corps.
Partnerships: Partners share business earnings and liabilities, paying taxes on their share of the profits.
Sole Proprietorships: The sole owner pays individual income tax on profits and is responsible for all business debts.
Selecting the right entity can significantly impact your financial outcomes. Consulting with a knowledgeable firm like Davis, Ermis & Roberts, P.C., ensures you make the best choice for your unique situation.
Business Litigation Advocacy
Business disputes are inevitable, ranging from contract disagreements to customer complaints and landlord-tenant issues. Our experienced team assesses each situation to provide the best legal advice and representation. We handle litigation across various areas, including:
Breach of Contract: Understanding which contracts are binding is essential. Disputes can arise from oral agreements or poorly drafted written contracts. We draft and review contracts to protect our clients’ rights and regularly handle large, multi-million dollar agreements.
Partnership Disputes: Unresolved disputes can destroy a business. We strive to resolve these issues out of court, but are prepared to fight for your rights in litigation if necessary.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty: When a business partner acts unreasonably and harms the business, it may constitute a breach of fiduciary duty. This can apply to both formal and informal relationships. We help you navigate this complex area and advise on the best course of action.
