Irvine Limited Liability Company Attorney

Orange County CA law firm helps business owners establish legal protection

Several options exist for Californians who seek to protect their personal assets from being taken due to a business loss. For many looking to launch a new venture, forming a limited liability company (LLC) is the preferred choice because it combines key benefits from the two traditional types of commercial legal entities, corporations and partnerships. At TransActionLaw in Irvine, I guide large and small businesses through a wide range of legal issues. My background in this area and personal approach to the needs of each client ensures that you will have the detailed advice you need to make an informed decision. If an LLC best suits your situation and objectives, I’ll handle each step in the process of registering your entity so you can move forward with confidence.

Trusted attorney advises on each aspect of the LLC creation process

Whether you’re running a solo operation or a large organization that might require the creation of numerous LLCs, I bring more than 30 years of business law experience to help you accomplish your objectives. A key advantage of LLCs is that their income does not have to be taxed independently, so owners can record profits as personal income while shielding their personal property from business creditors. Starting with an initial consultation, my firm will advise you on what must be done to secure and maintain an LLC, such as:

• Registering a unique name — Using the name database established by the California Secretary of State, I can determine whether your proposed name is available or already in use. Whatever name you select must end with “limited liability company,” “LLC” or a permitted variation.
• Filing and agent appointment — My firm will submit the articles of organization to the Secretary of State’s office and designate the person or company that you choose to serve as the LLC’s registered agent. The agent is authorized to accept service of legal papers if the LLC is sued.
• Fees and obligations — Each LLC must file a statement of information shortly after the articles of organization are accepted and every two years after that. I’ll advise you of the relevant fees as well as the franchise tax that is due to the state.

In addition to advising on startups on the legal requirements, I provide counsel on matters that affect their ability to succeed, such as the preparation of operating agreements, establishment of sound internal procedures, short- and long-term performance objectives, and employment issues.
