You are starting a business. What form should it take? A business lawyer and an accountant will explore the legal and accounting pros and cons of limited liability companies, corporations and other business forms. Among other things, we will focus on protecting business owners from personal liability by preventing “piercing of the corporate veil”.

Charles R.

He has participated in many Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitrations, representing claimants and respondents, as well as serving as an arbitrator and conducting arbitrator training.
