Entity Formation
LLCs, corporations, partnership agreements, and operating agreements — the right structure for the right venture.
Overview
Entity Formation Counsel
The right entity structure protects your assets, optimizes your tax position, and sets the foundation for how your business operates and grows. The wrong one creates liability exposure, tax inefficiency, and governance headaches that compound over time.
We form LLCs, corporations, and partnerships under Illinois law, drafting operating agreements and bylaws that address the real-world scenarios most templates ignore — member disputes, buy-sell events, capital calls, and succession. For businesses with S-corp elections or Section 754 implications, we coordinate with your tax advisor to ensure alignment.
Whether you're launching a new venture, restructuring an existing business, or forming a special-purpose entity for a real estate or energy project, we build the legal framework to match your objectives.
