Business Organizations and Transactions

Pennsylvania Business Formation and Organizations

Clear entity selection and organizational advice that addresses your specific objectives can help your business get off to the right start, accommodate growth and avoid problems, and stay poised to take advantage of market opportunities. To learn how our business organization and contracts lawyers can assist your new or existing company of any size, contact an attorney at Reilly, Wolfson, Sheffey, Schrum and Lundberg, LLP, in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

For more than 60 years, our lawyers have helped entrepreneurs, family businesses, and successor entities choose from among the following organizational structures:

• Sole proprietorship
• General partnership
• Limited partnership
• Limited liability company
• Corporation
• Non-profit organization

Our clients have included real estate developers, retailers, construction companies, manufacturers, agribusinesses, and family concerns of all kinds. We'll help you identify and register the business organization that best suits your ownership structure, risk tolerance, liability concerns, and tax profile.

Once your new company is open for business, we can take care of the full range of your needs for negotiation, contract documentation, tax planning, capital purchase or sale transactions, and employment agreements.

We also advise prospective franchisees on the best ways to take advantage of franchise opportunities while keeping the burdens and risks of the commitment to a minimum. We can review the Uniform Offering Circular with you and help you determine whether all of the required disclosures have been made by the franchisor, and whether the franchise opportunity itself presents hidden risks or liabilities that you might later regret.

As a full-service business law firm, we also represent companies of all sizes in purchase, acquisition, sale, or merger transactions, from initial negotiation, through due diligence, to closing. Additionally, we advise businesses and provide documentation and legal assistance on matters ranging from land use regulation to corporate governance. When necessary, we can protect your interests in court, as well. To learn more about the scope of our versatile and responsive business client services, contact an experienced lawyer at Reilly, Wolfson, Sheffey, Schrum and Lundberg, LLP.
