Business Formation & Restructuring Attorney – Los Angeles, CA

Business formation and restructuring refer to the legal processes involved in creating a new business entity or modifying the structure of an existing one (as it pertains to entity type, management, and/or ownership).  The first step in the business formation process involves selecting the appropriate type of business entity that aligns with your business goals and needs. The type of business entity you choose will affect your personal liability, taxes, decision-making authority, how your ownership can be transferred, and how the business can be dissolved. Business restructuring can involve making changes to a business's ownership, management, and/or entity type to minimize liability, address challenges, support growth, or prepare for transitions such as mergers, buyouts, or dissolution.

Starting off with a solid foundation by having the your business properly formed is an essential part of launching any successful business—regardless of the type of business entity you choose. While online resources can be helpful and informative, they cannot replace the tailored advice of a experienced business attorney. The right business entity, if properly formed—or later restructured—can help shield your personal assets, streamline operations, and support your business goals at every stage. And when it's time to exit, dissolve, or “divorce” your business, the right legal guidance can make all the difference.
