Formation of Business Entities

Throughout its history, the Kitchens Law Firm has assisted business owners and entrepreneurs with a variety of legal needs. The first and most important legal step in establishing a new business or reorganizing an existing venture is the formation of the legal entity as a Corporation, Partnership or LLC. Each of these business forms have unique and different functions. Therefore, selecting the right business form is crucial to the success of your business venture.


 When your livelihood depends upon the success of your business, don’t trust your financial future to anyone but a professional that is qualified to provide you with the legal counsel and services necessary for the success of your enterprise. Our attorneys have the skills to advise you on the selection of a business form that provides the right blend of organization, flexibility, limited liability, and taxation structure. Our attorneys can also prepare thorough and professional formation documents to properly form the foundation of your enterprise.

Operating & Shareholder Agreements

Once the basic formation documents of a new business have been drafted and filed with the Secretary of State, it is imperative that business owners establish the details of how their operation will be managed through an Operating Agreement (LLC) or Shareholder’s Agreement (Corporation). 

Our attorneys have vast experience counseling owners and drafting the agreements needed to ensure long-term success in the operation of your business. Our attorney's have experience drafting documents detailing:


- management and voting;

- transfer of ownership;

- limitation of liability;

- non-compete agreements;
