Business Formation

Choosing the proper legal structure for your business is a crucial decision that impacts taxes, liability, and operations.

Proper succession planning ensures the longevity and continued success of your business. We help business owners develop strategic plans for transitioning ownership to ensure a seamless handover. With a clear business succession plan, you have a clear roadmap for ensuring that business resources are managed and allocated effectively.

Shareholder and Partner Disputes

We have helped businesses draft employee handbooks, develop workplace policies, and handle employment disputes, terminations, and discrimination claims.

Business Compliance

Compliance with state and federal regulations is important for any business to thrive. In North Carolina, some businesses, such as breweries, are highly regulated.
