CORPORATE & BUSINESS SERVICES

Businesses have a life cycle. At Siebers Mohney, our attorneys specialize in helping business owners and key executives nurture their business every step of the way – from the bare seedlings of a new idea born of the entrepreneurial spirit, to companies with generations of history who continue to thrive in “mature” industries – each business is unique. Each brings its own standards, challenges, successes, capabilities, and opportunities.


Start Up – If you are in infancy and engaged in forming a new business our team of business attorneys will assist you with choosing the correct entity for operations, establishing initial financing, establishing ownership arrangements, operational agreements and guidelines as well as general tax and operational planning.


Ongoing Management – If your business is stable and established our business attorneys can help you navigate new legal issues or planning opportunities as they arise, whether they involve contracts, joint ventures, tax, general employment, employment immigration, stock sales, stock purchases, asset sales and asset purchases, divestitures, mergers or acquisitions, complex financing, the establishment of a franchise, or commercial litigation, just to name a few.


Business Succession and Sale – Maybe you have accomplished your goals, your business is no longer completely dependent upon you individually, and you wish to establish a plan of succession so that your business will continue to thrive when you are ready to let it fly on its own. Or perhaps, you are looking at retirement in 5-10 years and don’t know how to start preparing your business for sale or to be able to run without you. We can help you get there.

Regardless of the stage or the need, the goal of every attorney in Siebers Mohney’s business practice group is the same: to help you and your business thrive. In addition to the general matters mentioned above, the business attorneys at Siebers Mohney have helped organizations young and old, big and small, with these complex issues:
