When you start, grow, invest in a company or are asked to manage the investments and operations of a
business, either profit or non-profit, each choice you make can result in high-stakes consequences. You
need information, advice and an advocate to represent you to not only protect your business, but also
poise it for growth and success. Getting your business started correctly can potentially save your assets
and your business.
One of the most important parts of starting a small business is deciding what form it will take. The legal
ramifications of this can outweigh the financial ramifications if you don’t understand which one is right
for your business. Here are the three main options for forming a business:
Sole Proprietorship
When you first start your business, you are legally considered a sole proprietorship until you structure
yourself otherwise. As a sole proprietorship, you are doing business under your own name.
That can be great because it is simple and the business assets are all your own. On the flip side, this can
be bad because if someone ends up suing you, the person can then go after your business money,
personal savings, and property.
This is more for those who have a business as a hobby.
LLC
When your business starts to reach more revenue, you’ll want to look into structuring it in a way that
offers you protection for your business and assets. The next level is called an LLC, or Limited Liability
Company.
Since an LLC is its own business entity, if someone sues your company, your personal assets are
protected. You’ll have to keep accurate records to keep business and personal expenses and assets
separate. The tax implications are usually similar to a sole proprietorship.
S Corp
An S Corporation is the final option. The major benefits to an S-Corp are with taxes, asset protection,
and credibility. You’ll have shareholders and potential stock options.
Marvel Law is here to serve your business formation with purpose. We would love to sit down for a
FREE 15 minute consultation to explain the different benefits of each type and see what is right for your
business. Please use the form on this page.
Marvel Law is committed to helping you finalize the real estate deal that is most advantageous to your
business. In all reality, the lease or purchase of commercial real estate can make or break your bottom
line.
Here are the ways that we can help your business:
Comprehensive Commercial Real Estate Services
Identifying a property’s zoning (the permitted uses that property can be used for compared to those
uses which require a special use by the municipality) are threshold issues that are essential in property
development. Understanding the legal framework at a local level provides a working basis to approach
and work with all decision makers within the municipality. Marvel Law represents developers during all
phases of the development process, and resolves questions regarding particular zoning and land
specifications. We also represent clients whose legal issues include:
Condominium Conversions
Marvel Law offers legal representation to developers who are interested in converting apartment
complexes into condominiums. This often involves helping clients form a new company that is used to
develop and maintain the conversion.
Commercial Litigation
Marvel Law represents clients in commercial litigation. Litigation may be required because of a breach of
contract, a lease dispute, or a construction defect.
Leases
The process of leasing out a property to a corporation is same as in a personal lease. The agreement
must be signed and registered in court, and once the advance rent and security deposit are paid by the
company, the designated occupant takes possession of the property. That’s where the similarities end.
Here are some major differences that Marvel Law can help with:

Corporate – Contracts and Transactions
You started your business to pursue your passion, not pursue lawsuits to make sure people do what they
say they would do. Successful daily business operations center around well-made contracts and
business agreements. Often, vague or improperly drafted documents will result in costly litigation. The
goal at Marvel Law is to help you organize and grow your business without engaging in costly litigation.
Areas of expertise:
Buy-sell agreements
A buy–sell agreement is sometimes known as a buyout agreement. It is a legally binding agreement
between the primary owners of a business that establishes what should be done if a primary owner is
forced out of the business, chooses to leave the business, or if one of the primary owners passes away.
This is extremely important, as it is generally considered a business will.
Leases
The process of leasing out a property to a corporation is same as in a personal lease. The agreement
must be signed and registered in court, and once the advance rent and security deposit are paid by the
company, the designated occupant takes possession of the property. That’s where the similarities end.
Here are some major differences that Marvel Law can help with:
Regulatory Compliance
Depending upon the industry your corporation is in, the regulations can be daunting. Add to the fact
that the regulations are ever changing and it can be a real challenge to stay in compliance. Marvel Law
will help your corporation stay in compliance regarding regulations that govern your industry.
Licensing
Marvel Law will help your business license your intellectual property (copyright, patent, trademark, or
trade secret) and your digital assets (apps or programs). Here are some examples of what we have
helped clients license:
If your company has created an app or a software program, we can also help you license that to vendors
or other companies.
Business Contracts
A legally enforceable contract can be used in court to support a decision on a disputed item. If a contract
does not have certain essential ingredients, it is not legally enforceable. There are six required, essential
elements for a contract to be enforceable by a court.
Offer, Acceptance, and Mutual Consent: Every contract must include a specific offer and acceptance of that specific offer. Both parties must consent of their free will. Neither party can be coerced or forced to sign the contract, and both parties must agree to the same terms.
Non-disclosure Agreements
Simply stated, a non-disclosure agreement is a confidentiality agreement. It’s a contract between two
or more parties where the subject of the agreement promises that information shared will be
maintained in secrecy.
Marvel Law will help to protect you with the two major types of non-disclosure agreements. They are:
Mutual confidentiality agreement – this is an agreement that is often used for confidential information
shared with groups such as inventor groups (example would be if you are creating an app between two
or more people). It’s useful when both parties will be exchanging confidential information.
Standard unilateral agreement – these are the most common where only the named person is
obligated to maintain confidentiality.
Non-compete agreements
Employers usually insist on non-compete agreements because of the possibility that an employee, upon
termination or resignation, will work for a competitor or start a business. The employee might then allow the new employer to gain a competitive advantage over their former employer by abusing confidential information about their former employer's trade secrets or sensitive information such as business practices, upcoming products, marketing plans and customer or client lists. These agreements can also be enforced to prevent former employees from entering into work in a similar industry, even if that work would not involve the disclosure of trade secrets. Marvel Law will help your business draft non-compete agreements that will allow for an amicable separation from an employee and the protection of your business interests.
Stock Option Plans
One way that you can compensate your employees and attract new ones is by offering stock options.
Marvel Law will help you create options to offer stock to your employees that will be on par with the
standards set forth by the state in which you reside and the Securities and Exchange Commission of the
United States.
Shareholder Agreements
A shareholders' agreement is a contract that stipulates obligations, rights, and protections between shareholders. This contract typically outlines agreements pertaining to company stock, shareholder protection, firm leadership and management. Marvel Law will be there to help your business successfully implement and govern the shareholder agreement.
Management Agreements
A contract between the owner of income property and a management firm or individual property
manager that outlines the scope of the manager's authority. Marvel Law will help construct an
agreement that ensures the successful management of your income property.
Employment Agreements
Marvel Law will help your business draft a formal agreement that specifies the conditions of the
relationship between an employee and an employer. This would include compensation and
performance expectations. These can be reviewed/renewed on a yearly or as stated basis.
Contract Negotiations
Sometimes contract negotiations are needed between the employer and the employees. Marvel Law
can help to negotiate the most beneficial terms for your business interests. Marvel Law seeks to protect
you by maximizing revenue and minimizing risks.
Employee Manuals
Employee Manuals can be some of the most overlooked, yet most valuable assets that you have to protect your business. Marvel Law can help created employee manuals that govern employee behavior, company policies, company rules, and other information that is governed by the employment rules of your state. Many businesses are woefully unprepared in this area and, as a result, open themselves to litigation that can decimate the business they worked so hard to build. Marvel Law will help protect you.
