Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a lawyer to start a business? In today's digital world, there are countless resources and do-it-yourself sites on the Internet, including many that offer DIY business legal services.

What is the best type of structure for my business? Each type of business structure offers a different set of benefits and potential drawbacks. Whether you should choose a partnership, LLC, S-corporation, or C-Corporation will depend on a number of factors, such as your preferences regarding taxes, how your business will be funded, your intended management system, and much more. You should not choose a business structure until you have your business plan reviewed by an experienced business law attorney. |
What is a breach of contract? When you enter into a contractual agreement with another party, you each expect the other to live up to the terms of the agreement.

With the help of your attorney, your breach of contract claim could ask the court to force the other party to comply with the contract or to absolve you from your contractual obligations. The court could also award financial damages to compensate you for your losses. |
