Corporate Transactions
At Leahy & DeSmet, LLC, we counsel clients on business entity formation and operations. The first step in forming a new entity is understanding and then selecting the right business entity in accordance with your commercial field, your short term assets and long term plans. Choosing between a Limited Partnership (LP), Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), Limited Liability Company (LLC), Professional Association (PA), Corporation, Close Corporation, Non-profit, Subchapter S or Subchapter C Corporation can be complex as each entity has its own distinct limitations and advantages.  Contracts, licensing agreements, employment contracts, non-compete and compensation agreements are examples of the type of transactional work that we can help you with.  When advantageous to our clients, we team with other corporate attorneys such as Robert Collins of Collins Technology Law
