Even larger companies sometimes require assistance with specific matters from an outside counsel. Regardless of your circumstances, our business attorneys at Sloan Law Firm assist with the full range of business and commercial matters relating to formation and structure, ongoing operations, mergers and acquisitions, dissolution, and litigation. From our offices in Topeka and Lawrence, we work with businesses of all sizes and types throughout the State of Kansas. BUSINESS FORMATION & STRUCTURE Whether you are establishing a new business or have an existing business, determining the legal structure of your business is one of your most important decisions. Even if you started a business with one type of structure, it may be beneficial to change the legal entity type as your enterprise grows and changes. Kansas offers choices for the legal structure of a business, including sole proprietorship, LLC (Limited Liability Company), partnership, and corporation. If you choose the popular LLC structure, you can opt to be taxed as an S corporation. Determination of the best structure for your business involves a range of considerations, with taxation and liability among the most important. Our business attorneys at Sloan Law Firm help you navigate through the decision-making process to ensure you make the right decision. After you settle on the structure for your business, implementing the decision requires putting the right documentation in place and taking all the steps required under Kansas laws. Our business attorneys assist with all the necessary organizational documents and filings, to ensure compliance with all the state and federal requirements.
