Entity Formation & Maintenance

Inslee Best lawyers appreciate the importance of creating and maintaining the appropriate entities for our clients’ emerging and established business ventures. Tax issues, financing requirements, succession planning and the need to insulate personal assets from business creditors are a few examples of the concerns that we address when assisting clients in their entrepreneurial endeavors.

In addition to assisting clients in selecting the appropriate business structure, we help them meet ongoing legal requirements for their business. These may include qualifying the business to operate in other states, preparing and maintaining corporate records and preparing annual reports.

We provide preventive advice too. For example, we can help a new business protect its intellectual property rights in trade secrets, trade marks and copyrights; prepare employment and buy-sell agreements and create executive compensation arrangements.
