Choosing the proper legal structure is an important decision for any business. The form of entity selected, and the way it is documented at the outset, can have significant consequences for liability exposure, internal disputes, taxation, and future litigation.
Our firm assists clients in forming limited liability companies (LLCs), corporations, and other business entities under Connecticut law. We work with business owners to evaluate entity structure, ownership considerations, and governance issues, and to prepare the documents necessary to establish the business in compliance with statutory requirements.
Business formation often involves more than filing documents with the Secretary of State. We advise clients regarding operating agreements, shareholder arrangements, contractual considerations, and risk allocation, with an understanding of how these issues can affect future disputes or enforcement matters.
When a business is winding down, we also advise clients on business dissolution, including statutory dissolution requirements, creditor issues, and strategic considerations. Proper dissolution can be critical to limiting ongoing liability and avoiding disputes after operations have ceased.
Our business formation and dissolution work is informed by our broader experience in civil litigation, business disputes, and landlord‑tenant matters, allowing us to advise clients with an eye toward both current operations and potential future conflicts.
