The choices you make when buying, operating, and selling a business can have enormous financial and legal consequences—and any number of obstacles may arise. To ensure your success, GF&R will help you make the right decisions to prevent typical problems and swiftly handle any issues that arise.

Buying or starting a business: If you are buying or starting a business, GF&R, LLC, can make sure you get off on the right foot. First, we can help you evaluate a prospective business’ potential and advise you on the best form of business entity for your circumstances:

• Partnership
• Corporation
• Limited liability company

The business form you choose can have long-range tax implications. What sets us apart is our firm’s capacity to grasp the tax aspects of any transaction and advise you accordingly. And, once your business is up and running, GF&R can provide ongoing tax return preparation and review services.

Partnerships: The best time to protect your personal interests is before there are any problems. We can help you and your business partners create realistic, enforceable agreements to see you through good times and bad.

Employment law: If you already operate a business, you know that addressing employment law issues can be a daunting task. We can help. We represent both employers and employees in negotiating employment and separation agreements, and we will work with you to establish employment policies that will enable both your employees and your business to thrive.

Business transition: If you are planning your business transition strategy, we can help you to structure and operate your business in a manner that will increase its value and allow you to realize the maximum profits upon a sale. Once you are ready to sell your business, we can negotiate and draft contracts and other essential documents.
