Corporate/Transactional
The attorneys at Kabat, Mielziner & Sobel
assist small and medium sized businesses and their principals
with all their corporate and transactional needs from business
start-up to dissolution.
We advise entrepreneurs in all aspects
of the start-up of a business, including entity selection
and formation.
We have experience in handling the formation of corporations,
both profit and non-profit, limited liability companies,
limited
partnerships, and general partnerships. We handle the registration
of your business with the State. We consult with you to
ensure that we have chosen the entity that will provide you
with
the greatest chance for entrepreneurial success and the greatest
protection from personal liability.
Our representation continues after the start-up of your business. We handle the
legal issues related to relationships between multiple owners
of the same business, including the drafting of Buy-Sell Agreements,
Employment Agreements, and Management Agreements. If your business
has employees who must have access to sensitive information,
we can provide non-disclosure and non-competition agreements
that meet the requirements of Ohio law. If you have made the
decision to begin a pension plan for the benefit of yourself
and the other employees of your company, we will help you pick
the right plan and establish it for you. We will help you maintain
your ongoing business structure so as to avoid claims that
seek to place your personal assets at risk by piercing the
shield of corporate or other entity protection.
For ongoing businesses, we provide counsel,
advice, and document drafting for sales, mergers, and acquisitions.
We also assist our business clients with real estate purchases,
sales and leases. We also represent companies and their entrepreneurs
in unwinding and dissolving business interests.
Our corporate/transactional practice is
buoyed by our business litigation practice. See “Business Litigation”
in our practice areas for a more thorough discussion of our
experience and of the litigation services we can provide to
your business.
Ultimately, the relationships we have
with our small and mid-sized business clients are successful
because we know what it takes to run a small business — we
do it ourselves everyday. Like you, we make payroll and pay
rent, shop for office equipment, hire, manage and fire, and
balance our accounts. We know what our business means to us
— and we know what your business means to you.
For all of our business clients, developing
a relationship means giving you value beyond the preparation
of discreet documents. Our goal is to help you manage the legal
risks of your entity and to leave you better prepared to deal
with future situations as they arise.
