Business Startup Legal Considerations

Whether your business is in the concept stage or has been operating for several years, the lawyers at Murphy Desmond can help position your business for growth.

We work to help you avoid legal obstacles that can cause unnecessary costs, fines, delays, or even the end of your great business idea. We believe that having a lawyer assist early in your business endeavor is an important proactive decision.   

When starting a business, consider the following legal issues:  

  • Do you have a thorough business plan that includes objectives, goals and strategies?
  • Does your business have governing documents/bylaws to help it process situations such as ownership changes?
  • What kind of business legal entity is best and will protect yourself or your family?
  • Are you seeking investors in a law-abiding manner?
  • Are your premises approved for your business operations?
  • How will your business affect your current tax situation?
  • Will you have employees, and do you know the forms and other mandates for hiring people?
  • Have you researched required insurance for your business and employees?
  • Should your employees sign a non-compete or confidentiality agreement?
  • Is this a short-term endeavor and you hope to sell your business quickly, or do you plan to run this business for years to come?
