Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, a long-standing small business, or a profitable corporation, Thompson & Yates can provide your business with a wealth of advice and legal services.
Are you considering starting your own business?
While hanging your own shingle can be rewarding, it can also be a stressful and difficult process. At Thompson & Yates, we understand that new businesses do not always have the time or resources to focus on the legal aspects of operating a business. However, it is imperative that a new business seek legal advice regarding the start-up process. Otherwise, individuals could very well leave themselves open to personal liability. In our open court society, business owners should appropriately protect their personal assets from the threat of business liability.
Thompson & Yates can help to protect you from your business liabilities. During a free consultation, our attorneys can thoroughly assess your business's legal needs. We will determine which legal entity is best for the operation of your business. This advice will provide you with the most cost effective and efficient way to operate, while protecting you and your family's personal belongings.
Additionally, the type of legal entity you choose to operate under will determine how your business is taxed. Our attorneys will advise you regarding the particular business structure that will provide your business with the most tax advantages. Therefore, not only can the type of business entity you choose protect you from business liability, but it may also increase your "bottom-line" by decreasing your tax liability.
Our attorneys will prepare and file the necessary documents required by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to establish the legal entity that is right for your business. This process generally takes less than a week, and we know that time is of utmost importance to new businesses. Contact us now for a free consultation at (412) 856-8404 or at bthompson@thompsonyates.com. Contact us now to give your business the best first step that it can take.
Are you currently operating a business that has legal needs?
If you are currently operating a business, you may have legal needs of which you may or may not be aware. To their detriment, many businesses often try to perform legal services on their own in an effort to save revenue. We understand that businesses would like to retain as much cash as possible for their numerous day-to-day operating expenses. However, many business owners do not realize that by performing their own legal services they often risk losing much more money than they are saving by not retaining an attorney before problems arise.
Thompson & Yates offers its business clients a hands-on approach that is both dynamic and cost-effective. During a free consultation, our attorneys can advise you on a variety of subjects, including the need for various contracts, lease agreements, purchase-sale agreements, corporate resolutions, human relations, employee manuals, bankruptcy, collections and all other legal aspects of operating a business. The preventive legal services that Thompson & Yates provides will help your business avoid potential problems before they become major obstacles.
