Jonathan Platt served as CFO of a commercial real estate investment firm, giving him firsthand experience with the operational, financial, and legal challenges that businesses face. That perspective shapes the way we advise our business clients — focused on outcomes, not complexity.

Business law FAQ.
The right entity depends on your goals, tax situation, number of owners, and liability concerns. LLCs offer flexibility and liability protection and are popular for small businesses. Corporations may be preferable for businesses seeking outside investment. We advise clients on the optimal structure for their specific situation.
You are not legally required to use an attorney to form an entity, but doing so can prevent costly mistakes. An attorney can ensure your operating agreement or bylaws are properly structured, advise on ownership and governance issues, and help you avoid provisions that could create disputes down the line.
These disputes arise between co-owners of a business and can involve disagreements over management decisions, profit distributions, fiduciary duties, non-compete obligations, or one partner's right to force a buyout or dissolution. These disputes can be highly disruptive and should be addressed by experienced counsel promptly.
Before entering any business partnership, you should have a written partnership or operating agreement that clearly defines each party's contributions, ownership percentage, decision-making authority, profit sharing, and exit rights. Many expensive disputes arise because partners relied on handshake agreements instead of written terms.
Yes. We advise buyers and sellers in business acquisitions and sales, including due diligence, purchase agreement drafting and negotiation, representations and warranties, non-compete agreements, and post-closing obligations.
