Practice

Business Formation

We form the entity that fits the work: an LLC, a corporation, a partnership, a non-profit, a Condo Association, or a Homeowner Association. We file with the state, write the governing documents, and stay available when the company or the association needs a contract, an amendment, or a change of registered agent.

LLCs

Name, registered agent, certificate of formation, operating agreement, EIN, and a conversation with your CPA about whether an S-election makes sense. We do the legal file.

Corporations and Partnerships

A corporation when you need shares, a board, and the formal structure that lenders and investors expect. A partnership when two or more people are already in business together and the agreement has to say who decides, who puts in money, and who can leave.

Non-Profit Formation

Articles, bylaws, the board, and the Maine filing that starts a community organization. We put the paper in order so the group can open a bank account and get to the work it was formed to do.

Condo Associations and Homeowner Associations

We create Condo Associations and Homeowner Associations: the declaration, the bylaws, the budget language, and the filing that stands the association up. After that, we stay with the board on management questions—amendments, collections, and the rules the owners actually have to live with.

Contracts That Fit the Shop

Construction agreements, joint ventures, NDAs, and tenant applications for landlords who also run a business. Advice based on your specific situation, written down, before you sign.

Flat Fees

Most Business Formation work is a flat fee.
