BUSINESS Lawyers at the SM Law Group

Starting a business requires careful planning and foresight. Understanding the advantages and drawbacks of the various types of business entities is important. For instance, C corporations are “double taxed.” In other words, in addition to paying taxes at the corporate level, if dividends are paid out of corporate profits, the recipient will also pay a personal income tax on the distribution. On the other hand, S corporations and LLCs may benefit from “pass-through taxation.” Pass-through taxation allows income to pass through to shareholders and members, respectively, thereby avoiding taxation at the corporate or company level, respectively.

We represent businesses of all sizes. Our business law attorneys guide clients through the complicated process of incorporating or forming a business. If you wish, the SM Law Group will continue to work with your new business on an ongoing basis, serving as your legal resource for other matters that may arise in the future. We have offices in Boston and New York City. In addition, we also have a working relationship with Zuber & Taillieu LLP, a California law firm with offices in Beverly Hills and Irvine. Together, we are able to represent clients across the United States.

Our principal attorneys were previously associated with some of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the United States. We seek to combine our large law firm experience with the type of specialized attention and reasonable rates that can only be provided in a boutique law firm environment.
