Business Entity Formation
Forming a business requires counseled decision-making, whether the proposed business is small or large. Our law firm will advise you and assist you in making an informed decision as to the type of entity that would be best suited for your business. We will also assist you with the formation of limited liability companies (LLCs), corporations (S Corporations or C Corporations), general partnerships, limited partnerships, family limited partnerships, and non-profit organizations.
Business Acquisitions & Sales Transactions
Our attorneys frequently represent buyers and sellers of businesses and business assets. We negotiate, draft, review and advise as to purchase agreements, buy-sell agreements, financing agreements, letters of intent, and other essential documents to accomplish a successful sale.
Employment Disputes
Our law firm regularly assists employers and employees in connection with employment contracts due to new employment, confidentiality agreements, covenants not to compete, employee handbooks, severance agreements, and other employment-related matters or disputes. Contact us if you have an employment issue or are in need of the drafting, review and/or negotiation of an employment agreement or restrictive covenant agreements, to ensure that you are well represented and protected.
Non-Profit Organizations
Establishing a nonprofit organization involves 1) incorporation and 2) obtaining federal tax-exemption. At Stuckert and Yates, we assist new organizations in the incorporation and tax-exemption processes to ensure that they establish the right structure from the onset to allow them to operate effectively towards their objectives.
Our attorneys carefully guide our clients through the formation process and the establishment of good governance policies and practices, and assist boards to understand their fiduciary obligations so that they may operate their organizations properly and in accordance with Pennsylvania law.
