Small and mid-sized businesses often rely on Stuart & Branigin attorneys to serve as their general counsel, looking to us for advice and representation on a wide range of matters. Our business lawyers counsel clients in every phase of the business lifecycle, from formation and growth through succession planning or transfer of assets.

At the earliest stages of a business, we help owners choose the most advantageous form of business entity from among various options:
• Traditional business corporation
• Limited liability company
• Professional corporation
• Partnership
• Limited liability partnership
• Nonprofit organization

As a business grows, we provide counsel in managing all facets of the entity’s affairs. Our work may encompass related areas of the law, such as business transactions, banking, taxation, employment, real estate, intellectual property, estate planning, or selling a business. In such cases, attorneys from other practice areas work with us to meet client needs.
