LAW OFFICES OF OLIVIA CHEUNG
BUSINESS LAW & CONTRACTS LAW
Entity Formation, Contracts, and Business Transactions
The research and preparation of business agreements is both an art and a science. It requires knowledge of the law, experience, and critical attention to detail. The firm has extensive experience in preparing sales agreements, letters of intent, demand letters, service agreements, license agreements, and employment agreements. In addition, we prepare formation and governance documents for corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies (LLCs).
We also regularly provide advice concerning the appropriate entity (i.e., corporation, partnership, or LLC) to form and the state in which to incorporate, and draft/negotiate shareholders’ agreements, limited liability operating agreements, and partnership agreements. Once a business is formed, we also provide day-to-day advice for review of contracts, negotiations, acquisitions, and employment matters, and often act as outside general counsel for corporations and small businesses.
