Entity Formation & Ownership Structure

To ensure the success of your business, it is imperative that it be formed using the business structure that is appropriate for your circumstances and goals.

The attorneys of Trainor Fairbrook have assisted clients with the formation of thousands of C corporations, S corporations, LLCs, partnerships and other business entities. This has provided us with the experience necessary to know exactly what questions to ask—how flexible you need the structure to be, the necessity of shielding you from liability, the potential for disagreements between you and your business partners—and to predict the potential impact of choosing one ownership structure versus another.

Partnership / Entity Disputes

When you enter into a business partnership, you almost certainly do so with the best of intentions and the belief that the relationship will be peaceful and profitable. But unfortunately, the stresses of running a business can lead even the most successful partnership to become fractious and confrontational.

Our goal is always to find a means for peaceful resolution outside the courtroom, through arbitration or mediation. We have extensive experience negotiating compromises, buyouts and other resolutions. But sometimes, litigation is necessary, and the lawyers of Trainor Fairbrook are fully prepared to obtain the best possible resolution in the courtroom.
