Corporate & Securities Law
With an ever-volatile marketplace and economy, coupled with today's litigious society,
estate planning and asset protection often require a sound business plan. The Corporate
& Securities Law Group at The Strauss Law Firm understands this need and is well
versed in entity choice and formation, Buy-Sell Agreements, and the proper maintenance
of corporate records.
Business planning used to begin and end with Limited Liability Companies used primarily
by clients seeking to minimize personal liability for a family owned business. Nowadays,
structures such as Family Limited Partnerships and Holding Companies are often utilized
in an effort to fractionalize ownership of property allowing for reduced taxes on
the transfer of wealth. Offshore jurisdictions combined with international tax structures
are sound asset protection vehicles offering significant tax savings, investment
opportunities, and creditor protection. A sound Buy-Sell Agreement provides security
for businesses in the event a co-owner dies, becomes disabled, retires, or leaves
the business.
Of course, Corporations, Partnerships, and Limited Liability Companies are still
very popular and serve as an important part of the business world. Whether you are
an entrepreneur with a brand new start-up, a retired CEO that desires a consulting
entity, or a real estate tycoon heavily involved in mergers and acquisitions, The
Strauss Law Firm is more than capable of assisting you with all of your business
planning needs.
Additionally, with custom solutions for clients with investment-based needs, navigating
the complex system of federal laws and regulations is precisely what our firm does
best. Whether it’s the drafting of a Subscription Agreement, Private Placement Memoranda,
or a Regulation D Offering we have the experience and specific skill set necessary
to accomplish the task.
We assist our clients with compliance matters as they relate to the Securities Act
of 1933, whether it be an issue of registration with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, an exemption from registrations as set forth in the Securities Act of
1933 and SEC rules promulgated thereunder, or even specific matters under Regulation
D which allows access to the capital markets possible for small companies that could
not otherwise bear the costs of a normal SEC registration.
The Strauss Law Firm welcomes the opportunity to work side-by-side with its clients
to form the proper structure for securities-based matters.
