Our flat-fee, percentage, and hourly business and legal affairs services often include drafting and negotiating the following:
- Entity formation for Corporations, Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Joint-Ventures, and Co-Productions. (file Articles of Organization, Articles of Incorporation, Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), draft Bylaws, Operating Agreement, Shareholder Agreement, Proxy Agreement).
- Yearly entity maintenance filings and compliance (Secretary of State filings, Franchise Tax Board advice, Shareholder Meetings, Board of Director Meetings, etc.).
- Transactional representation and support in connection with projects (option agreements, attachment agreements, letters of intent, etc.).
- Assist with business plans, including executive summaries, marketing and distribution plans, and investment projections/presentations.
- Employment and General Counsel advice (employment agreements, vendor agreements, technology licenses, business agreements, and legal research as necessary).
- Collections (collection notices, collection demands, debt settlement negotiations, etc.).
Why Choose Us
- Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are much easier to form and maintain than corporate entities, making them a great choice for single purpose projects such as individual films; however, many corporate-level investors prefer the security of a corporation and will only invest in corporations. Be sure you are clear about your goals before picking an entity.
- The California Franchise Tax Board charges an $800 minimum per year for businesses located in California; however, there are several exemptions available for companies that qualify.
Our firm has spent years as business and legal affairs counsel representing and advising small startups to large corporate clients on matters ranging from formation through final acquisition. In addition to sound legal affairs advice, our clients rely on our business experience to help guide their decisions and close deals. Most of our clients find that our expertise and costs are unparalleled.
