Operating a business is complicated. If you’re involved in setting up a New Jersey- or New York-based business, specialized and significant experience in these states is essential to virtually every aspect of the legal process. What may seem like a straight-forward business transaction today may become an expensive legal wrangle tomorrow.
Our Business and Corporate attorneys advise clients on the creation and maintenance of business entities, including corporations (both C type and Sub-Chapter S), Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Partnerships, Limited Partnerships, Joint Ventures and Sole Proprietorships. We also work extensively in the area of commercial leasing.
