Business Succession Solutions That Support Long-Term Planning
Strategic Planning for Business Continuity
Business succession planning helps address leadership and ownership transitions while preparing for the future of your company. At Leo Law Office, we assist business owners in developing clear, legally sound strategies aligned with their objectives and designed to reduce disruption where possible. From structuring ownership transfers to drafting essential agreements, we provide legal guidance tailored to each business’s circumstances. Early planning allows business owners to better prepare for future transitions.
Contract Drafting and Breach of Contract Matters
Every business, regardless of industry, relies on well-drafted contracts to clarify obligations and manage risk. Leo Law Office assists with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating business agreements intended to support both current operations and future planning, including business succession considerations. These agreements may include vendor contracts, purchase agreements, loan documents, and technology service terms. Careful contract review helps businesses better understand responsibilities and potential exposure before entering into binding agreements.
Contract Negotiation and Risk Assessment
Thoughtful contract drafting can help businesses address both present and future considerations. Attorney Shawn Leo works with clients to draft and negotiate agreements that reflect their business model and succession planning goals. This may include shareholder agreements, vendor arrangements, or real estate transactions. During the review process, we help identify unclear or unfavorable terms and revise provisions related to performance standards, obligations, and risk allocation. Representation during negotiations focuses on ensuring contracts accurately reflect the agreed-upon terms.
Incorporation Services and Corporate Governance
Business formation requires careful consideration of legal structure and governance requirements. Whether forming a limited liability company (LLC), partnership, or corporation (S-Corp or C-Corp), each structure carries different legal and tax considerations, particularly when ownership transitions are anticipated. Shawn Leo advises clients on business formation, corporate governance, and succession-related planning, including drafting bylaws, operating agreements, and partnership agreements appropriate to the chosen structure.
Ongoing Legal Support for Business Operations and Planning
Leo Law Office provides ongoing legal services to support corporate governance and regulatory compliance throughout a business’s lifecycle. This may include assistance with non-disclosure agreements, service contracts, entity maintenance, and shareholder resolutions. These services help support day-to-day operations while also addressing longer-term planning considerations, including succession. If disputes or litigation arise, we provide legal representation informed by an understanding of the company’s structure and governing documents.
