Business Organizations

Because of TL's focus of representing entrepreneurs, we suggest the organization of your business be designed for defense. The economy is cyclical and it is likely that your business will face financial stress in the future. We can help you organize business entities that provide maximum protection in a financial downturn.

Business organizations, excluding some trusts, are creatures of state or federal law. For more information:

Agency and Contracts

Most business organizations are entities separate from their owners. They have rights under the federal and state constitutions as "persons." These legal fictitious persons can only act through human agents. Thus the law of principal-agent (law of agency) applies to most business organization transactions. In order for the transaction to be binding on the principal (the organization), the agent must have actual or apparent authority. Competent business lawyers can assist your organization drafting professional contract and agency agreements.
