Lommen Abdo’s business operations attorneys assist clients in determining whether they should operate as a closely held business, limited liability company, partnership or corporation.  We then provide proper and timely formation of the chosen entity, preparation of contracts and agreements, obtain financing and assist with employee issues.  Much of Lommen Abdo’s business operations practice consists of transactional work on mergers and acquisitions, buy-outs and the purchase and sale of business interests. Our goal is to provide timely, cost-efficient services regardless of the size of the transaction.  We negotiate and document transactions of all types.

We can also continue to provide general business assistance as the business grows. We can provide counsel with respect to governance issues, management and shareholder issues, tax planning and real estate matters. 

As a result of the “Sarbanes-Oxley” legislation, and other recent corporate governance reforms, it is important that both private and public companies review and make changes in their corporate governance structure and practices, their system of internal controls, their approach to financial reporting and their corporate culture. Lommen Abdo can provide advice and assistance in all these areas.
