Business Formation & Startup
Form the business.
Set the terms.
Launch with an entity, ownership arrangements, and governing documents that reflect how your business will operate, make decisions, and grow.

THE STARTUP PACKAGE
More than a company filing.
We connect the legal structure with your business goals. That means addressing ownership, control, and responsibilities at the outset, while coordinating tax choices with your accountant.
Entity and ownership structure
Evaluate the entity, formation state, owners, and management structure in light of your operating plans, tax advice, and anticipated growth.
Formation and filings
Prepare the agreed formation documents and coordinate the filings needed to establish the entity in the selected jurisdiction.
Founder and owner terms
Document contributions, economic rights, decision-making, transfers, and departures so the owners understand the arrangement they are entering.
Governing documents
Prepare an operating agreement or corporate bylaws and related ownership documents suited to the entity and its owners.
Initial authority and records
Document initial approvals, management appointments, and signing authority, with an organized set of governing records.
Launch priorities
Identify the customer terms, brand protection, contractor IP, and other legal work needed next. Agree what belongs in the startup engagement and what follows separately.
SCOPE & PRICING
A defined scope before work begins.
A single-owner company and a business with cofounders or outside investors require different work. We confirm the documents, filing support, responsibilities, and fees before the engagement begins. Government fees and any additional legal or specialist work are identified separately.
Discuss business formationFor our first conversation
Tell us what the business will do, where it will operate, who will own it, and when you plan to launch. Flag any existing entity, agreed founder terms, or planned investment. We will help identify the decisions to resolve before filing.
SUPPORTING SERVICES
From formation to doing business.
Build on the startup work with the agreements and protections your operations need. These services can be scoped alongside formation or addressed as the business develops.
Customer Agreements
Provider-side drafting and negotiation of agreements used to sell products, subscriptions, technology, and services.
Trademark Registration

Copyright & Content Ownership
Clarify who owns creative, software, training, marketing, and other content, then put the agreements and registrations in place to protect that ownership.
Privacy Policies & Notices
Business-focused drafting and review of external privacy notices and internal privacy policies.
Vendor Agreements
Review and negotiation of purchasing, technology, data, professional-service, and other vendor agreements.
