Business Organizations - You have a number of options when choosing a type of business formation. You could organize as a C corporation, an S corporation, a limited liability company, a partnership or a sole proprietorship… but you need to decide which is best in your circumstance. Our firm regularly counsels clients on the advantages and disadvantages of the various forms of organization recognized by the State of Wisconsin. Additionally, we counsel clients about business tax issues, financing issues, relationships among owners, and acquisitions and divestitures.
Business and Commercial Law - We represent business clients in connection with general business, employment tax, financing, intellectual property, and real estate matters. This representation includes all legal aspects of owning and operating a business, including the acquisition, organization, formation, funding, day to day business management tax issues, business sales, employment matters, leases, contracts, and dissolutions.
Estate Planning - Estate planning begins with an in-depth and detailed analysis of your estate assets and your wishes as to how you want your property left to your loved ones. Everyone needs a will, but depending on your particular circumstances, you may also want to consider creation of one or more revocable (living) or irrevocable trusts, a durable power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, amendments to partnership agreements, and a variety of other planning documents. We have prepared estate plan documents for small, medium, and large estates, and have the knowledge to help you with yours.
International Business Law - We advise clients who are entering foreign markets for the first time of the risks and benefits of doing business abroad, and clients who are expanding their overseas operations on how to integrate that expansion into their existing operations. We have a network of foreign lawyers and counsel, accountants, tax professionals, and other service providers that allow us to provide you with complete and comprehensive international law services.
