Business Organizations and Transactions

Lawrenceville, New Jersey, Business Organization Attorneys

The choices made by a business during formation will impact its tax liability, the amount of financial liability assumed by its owners or board of directors, and a host of other concerns. What is included - or excluded - from a company's articles of incorporation, bylaws or other formation documents can have important legal consequences in cases involving financial mismanagement, business failure and general accounting malfeasance. At the law office of Szaferman, Lakind, Blumstein & Blader, our attorneys work closely with tax experts, accountants and insurance professionals to help investors, entrepreneurs and business clients secure their company on a sound legal foundation. Our firm also establishes ongoing consultative relationships to help businesses evaluate employee handbooks, vendor contracts and intellectual property issues.

Protecting Your Legal and Business Interests

When a business starts between friends or family members, how money, insurance or bank accounts are handled isn't always formalized. As a result, personal funds and company funds can intertwine and accounting lines blur. Once you form a company, it's essential that bylaws or partnership agreements delineate how company funds are to be handled, who has access to them and each party's responsibilities. Doing so protects you and the company's board of directors in the event that financial mismanagement leads to business failure or criminal charges.

Complying with State and Federal Law

Our attorneys are also prepared to help businesses navigate confusing state and federal regulations that apply to the employer-employee relationship. Under federal law, certain classes of people are protected and employees have certain rights under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Additionally, your business can avoid a number of legal problems by correctly classifying employees as "exempt" or "non-exempt" should a Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA) issue arise concerning overtime or wages.

We have the experience and knowledge to help your business meet today's legal challenges as they develop and change over time. To schedule an appointment, contact business organization attorneys at Szaferman, Lakind, Blumstein & Blader today.
