Why You Should Hire an Attorney for Business Formation in New York

July 1, 2024

Starting a new business is an exciting venture, but it also comes with a multitude of legal and regulatory challenges. From choosing the right business structure to ensuring compliance with state and federal laws, the decisions you make during the formation process can have long-lasting implications for your business. At the Law Offices of Benjamin B. Neschis, P.C., we specialize in assisting entrepreneurs with business formation in New York. Here’s why hiring an attorney for business formation is essential.



1. Choosing the Right Business Structure

One of the first and most critical decisions you’ll make when starting a business is choosing the appropriate legal structure. The options include sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), corporation (C-corp or S-corp), and nonprofit organization. Each structure has its advantages and disadvantages, particularly concerning liability, taxation, and management. An experienced attorney can help you understand the implications of each option and choose the best structure for your business goals and needs.


2. Drafting and Filing Formation Documents

Forming a business entity requires drafting and filing various legal documents with the state. This may include articles of incorporation for corporations, articles of organization for LLCs, and partnership agreements for partnerships. An attorney can ensure that these documents are accurately prepared and filed in compliance with New York state laws, reducing the risk of delays or rejections.


3. Creating Internal Agreements

Internal agreements, such as operating agreements for LLCs, shareholder agreements for corporations, and partnership agreements for partnerships, are essential for defining the rights and responsibilities of the business owners. These agreements outline the management structure, profit distribution, dispute resolution procedures, and more. An attorney can draft these agreements to ensure they are comprehensive and legally enforceable.


4. Navigating Regulatory Requirements

New businesses must comply with a variety of regulatory requirements, including obtaining necessary licenses and permits, adhering to zoning laws, and meeting health and safety standards. An attorney can help you navigate these regulations, ensuring that your business operates legally and avoids costly penalties.


5. Protecting Intellectual Property

If your business involves unique products, services, or branding, protecting your intellectual property (IP) is crucial. An attorney can assist with trademark registration, copyright protection, and patent filings, ensuring that your IP rights are secured and defended against infringement.


6. Addressing Employment Law Issues

Hiring employees brings additional legal considerations, including compliance with employment laws, drafting employee handbooks, and creating employment contracts. An attorney can help you navigate these issues, ensuring that your business complies with labor laws and minimizes the risk of employment disputes.


7. Planning for Future Growth

An attorney can provide strategic legal advice to support your business’s growth and development. This includes drafting contracts, negotiating leases, and advising on mergers and acquisitions. Having a trusted legal advisor can help you make informed decisions that support your long-term business objectives.


8. Mitigating Legal Risks

Starting a business involves inherent risks, but an attorney can help you identify and mitigate potential legal issues. From ensuring compliance with regulations to drafting robust contracts, an attorney’s expertise can protect your business from legal pitfalls and disputes.


Benefits of Hiring a Business Formation Attorney

Hiring a business formation attorney offers several advantages:

  • Expert Legal Guidance: An attorney with experience in business formation understands the legal landscape and can provide expert advice tailored to your specific needs.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: An attorney can ensure that all necessary documents are accurately prepared and filed, reducing the risk of errors and delays.
  • Strategic Planning: An attorney can provide strategic advice to support your business’s growth and development.
