Entity Formation

Getting the Ball Rolling

When you’re ready to take a bright idea from concept to company, what is the first step?  How do you navigate the myriad of legal issues surrounding starting a business?  

Brooks Pierce attorneys have a wealth of experience helping entrepreneurs go from vision-caster to business-owner.  We have worked with companies in a wide range of sizes and styles, from small family-owned companies to large corporations.  Our venture law attorneys frequently counsel and assist with every aspect of entity formation, such as:

• Equity and debt financing
• Securities issues – including private placements and crowdfunding
• Organization documents (partnership, LLC, and incorporation)
• Angel and venture funding
• Corporate governance
• Developing agreements (shareholder, operating, buy-sell)
• Joint ventures

We also have a thriving non-profit formation practice, with attorneys with years of experience in helping new non-profit organizations complete formation documents, negotiate tax exemption concerns, and develop governance policies.
