Comprehensive Corporate Law Services
Each business faces unique challenges that require creative legal approaches from a corporate attorney who spends the time necessary to understand all aspects of your business. The DuPage County corporate law attorneys at Esp, Kreuzer, Cores & McLaughlin, LLP, provide personalized representation combined with legal and business expertise. Our lawyers represent businesses including construction contractors, manufacturers, service providers, hospitals, professionals, and banks and credit unions.
From Formation to Expansion and Dissolution
Whether you own a business or are starting one, we will advise you on the risks and benefits of each type of business entity. Each organizational structure, whether a closely held corporation, S corporation, C corporation, sole proprietorship, general partnership, LLP or LLC, has different tax consequences and structural characteristics. We will also assist you with financing issues, drafting of bylaws and articles of incorporation, and buy-sell agreements.
An established business requires sound counsel to develop employment agreements and policies, negotiate contracts and mergers and acquisitions, and protect intellectual property.
If you need to dissolve a business, we will ensure you comply with Illinois law and help you sell or distribute the assets according to your business' entity structure. For the sale of a business, we will evaluate any offers you receive and help you decide whether the transaction should be of stocks or assets. We will also draft sales contracts and ensure you comply with legal requirements.
Business owners need to protect their commercial and personal interests. We provide asset protection, business succession planning, and insurance and estate planning services for high net-worth individuals. Working with financial and tax experts, we will create a strategy to protect you and your family from liability now and in the future.
We have offices in Chicago, Wheaton and Oswego. Please call 630-871-1002 to schedule an appointment. You may also contact us online.
