Business Entity Selection. We help new business clients determine which form best suits their management style, capital structure, and risk tolerance profile. We can help you choose from among the following forms: corporation, partnership, limited liability partnership or company, or trusts. In many estate planning situations, we advise clients to form family partnerships or limited liability companies in order to transfer assets from the estate into a separate entity that remains under their effective control.

Business Management. Our Fort Worth family business lawyers assist businesses with identifying the risks and opportunities involved with such decisions as the acquisition of another business's assets, divestiture of part of an existing business, merger with another company, joint ventures, and the responsibilities of directors and officers in specific situations. Our objective at all times is to help you make the most of your business's potential for profit while minimizing your exposure to risk.

Management Succession Planning. Particularly in closely held or family businesses, there comes the time to make provisions for the transition to the next generation of ownership and management. Alternatively, you might wish to plan for the dissolution of your business, the sale of substantially all of its assets, or an alternative exit strategy. Our lawyers can help you choose from among your options, and make sure that whatever decision you make is properly documented and reflected in your estate planning instruments.

Business Transactions and Litigation. We can help you with the negotiation and documentation of any agreement to help protect your rights in a loan or sales transaction, a commercial lease, an oil and gas lease, a licensing or distribution agreement, or any other aspect of your operations. If any of your business or management relationships should happen to break down, our experienced business litigators will protect your interests in court as necessary.

Whether you need help with entity formation, a business valuation problem involving closely held assets, or advice and due diligence concerning a proposed merger, contact Bakutis, McCully & Sawyer, P.C.
