Business Formation Lawyer Colorado

Successful Entrepreneurs Trust Our Colorado Business Formation Lawyer

When starting a new business venture, don’t neglect the importance of proper business entity formation. First-time business owners may not realize that the differences in legal business formation structures (LLC, PLC, corporation, S-Corp, or nonprofit) greatly impact the venture’s tax obligations, ownership limitations, and overall operations.

It’s not just the legal steps of forming your business that are critical to its success. Your contracts, including employment contracts, vendor agreements, and partnership agreements, also play a large role. We draft contractor agreements for your business and review those you’re presented with. Our Colorado business formation lawyer oversees all the legal matters necessary to open your doors. Contact us today for a professional complimentary discovery call.

Comprehensive Business Legal Services

Colorado businesses have strict regulations for operation, financial reporting, and taxation. The nature of your enterprise and your goals (would you like to remain small, or do you have expansion plans, for example) affect which type of business formation structure is right for you. Our firm prepares the right business formation documents, acquires any permits and other supporting documentation, and registers it with the Colorado Secretary of State.

The type of business formation you choose can affect your ability to expand and take on new partnerships. If you want to keep your business privately owned, an LLC may be your best option, protecting your personal assets from being seized by creditors. However, if you are considering taking the business public, then a corporation form may work best. We work with you to develop your business goals, to form the business in the manner that’s best to achieve them.

Finally, we ensure that your business complies with industry-specific regulations. Certain industries, like electrical work or food and beverage service, have specific regulations. All businesses must also comply with state and federal employment laws. Part of our business formation services includes advising you on employment law compliance and risk assessment.

You can effectively leave your business’s legal interests to us and concentrate on what you do best—running your business.

Legal Protection So Your Business Can Thrive

One bad business deal, one hotly contested business dispute, or one premises liability lawsuit can derail your business or even cause you to shutter. We provide legal protection, including risk assessment and analysis. We alert you to areas where your business could be exposed, like employment violations or hazardous conditions that could cause workplace or guest injury. Then, we present an actionable plan to get your business compliant and address the risks.

If you face a contract dispute, including a breach of contract, we can represent your interests in arbitration, mediation, and Colorado civil court. A breach of contract can affect your supply chain, threaten your reputation, and cost a lot of money. We address the nature of the breach and attempt to negotiate a resolution according to the contract’s terms. However, if we cannot resolve this with the breaching party, we initiate legal action on your behalf.

At Volpe Law LLC, we take your business goals seriously, starting with the enterprise’s legal formation. Please contact us today for a personalized complimentary discovery call with our Colorado business formation lawyer.
