Packages for New Emerging Business Clients
The first years of a new business are exciting, exhausting and sometimes daunting. What we don’t want it to be is expensive. For many new business owners, having a fixed price gives the peace of mind knowing what our legal services package will do—at a set fee—that’s why we are offering special packages for new clients just starting out.
“Enterprise” Package
- Complimentary introductory meeting to discuss your business with attorneys in our corporate, intellectual property, real estate and employment practices to help us determine how best to assist you
- Entity selection and formation for your business (sole proprietorship, partnership, trust, limited liability corporation, corporation), including identifying and developing a strategy for protecting your intellectual property
- New York State filings and legal notices (state filing fees, registered agent fees, publication notice fees and trademark application filing fees are not included in fixed fee)
- Labor and employment compliance checklist
“Enterprise Plus”
Now that the business is formed, it’s time to focus on future growth and the additional legal services that might to be encountered. To assist our startup and emerging business clients during their initial years, we can offer alternative fee arrangements to clients established under our Enterprise package. Our goal is to help new businesses succeed. We want to be the go-to law firm throughout your business’ life and help remove some of the barriers along the way.
