Business Organization and Choice of Entity for New Orleans Northshore Entrepreneurs and Start-Up Companies
I help small business owners choose the best business entity for them, based upon their management style, tolerance for personal risk and tax structure needs:
- S corporations
- C corporations
- Limited liability companies (LLCs)
- Partnerships
- Franchises
- Joint ventures
I will explain and help you manage issues that are specific to each type of entity. For example, corporations must register with the Secretary of State, create shareholder agreements, issue stock and establish a board of directors. Partnerships, LLCs and joint ventures may need assistance developing the partnership and organizing agreements. I also create policy manuals and employment manuals for new businesses. As part of any business plan, I encourage clients to consider the advantages of business succession planning.

Many clients rely upon my services for help with their ongoing legal needs. Many simply have questions about how to accomplish their goals and protect their interests through policies, contracts and other methods. Contact me for assistance with:
- Contract negotiation, drafting or review in German or English
- Employment contracts, including confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements
- International and domestic transactions
- Risk management
- Insurance law
- Dispute resolution through litigation, mediation, arbitration and international arbitration
