Small Business Lawyer in Northern, NJ

Deborah L. Pico - Attorney At Law

We provide a wide variety of legal services to our business clients including assisting in selecting the type of organizational entity under which to operate such as a Sub-Chapter S Corporation, a Business Partnership, a Limited Liability Corporation, or a C- Corporation.

Oftentimes, agreements between shareholders or partners are needed, and we provide those services as well. In addition, we can prepare your confidentiality agreement or non-compete, as the case may be. Be sure to protect yourself when incorporating. Underestimating the necessity for agreements to protect yourself can take a devastating toll on your business. Some people don’t think that they need an agreement between friends, or if the business is just starting up, but the time for these agreements is at the outset of the business, and not after the business is underway.

Having the protection of a corporation is vital to protecting your personal assets. Knowing how to handle your corporation, such as being sure to not comingle personal assets with business assets, maintaining separate bank accounts for personal and business assets, and being sure your corporate designation (such as President or Managing Member) follows your signature on work orders, invoices, business cards, websites and letters is extremely important. Your corporation will not protect you from business creditors if you haven’t used it in a legally correct way.

We have a great deal of experience in guiding small businesses. Knowledge now will help you in the future with your business. Learning to protect yourself and manage your business within the framework of the law is imperative. You owe it to yourself, your partners and your family to be sure to use your corporation properly so as to protect your business partners and/or your personal assets from harm. Let us help you with the corporate set up and with the legal documents you will need to carry out your business safely, with the least amount of risk.
