Business Planning

The unique combination of knowledge and experience of the attorneys of Hyden, Miron & Foster, allows the firm to assist their clients in all stages of business. This may encompass the acquisition of an existing business, the start-up of a new business, the daily legal concerns of an on-going business, and the succession planning of the business owner looking toward retirement. While structuring the business entity and its owners (shareholders, members or partners), our lawyers are seeking safety, simplicity, cost efficiency and tax savings opportunities. Some common business planning events include:

• Purchase and sale of a deceased or disabled shareholder's interest
• Protection from corporate deadlock
• Split dollar life insurance plans
• Non-qualified deferred compensation plans for executives
• Management succession planning
• Choice of business entities
• Start up (incorporations) of business entities
• Subchapter "S" tax election
• Mergers, acquisitions and reorganization of businesses
• Purchase and sale of business assets and entities
