It depends on liability, taxes, ownership, and your growth plans. The best choice is specific to your situation.
Before. Signing contracts, taking payments, or hiring while operating personally exposes you to liability the entity would have absorbed. Forming first also keeps ownership, banking, and tax reporting clean from day one. If you've already started, the fix is usually straightforward — but it's easier before there's history to untangle.
Yes, businesses can convert or restructure, though it’s easier to start with the right structure than to fix it later.
The first call is a 20-minute Initial Case Assessment with Jenny Elliot, who is not an attorney. The call addresses the nature of the matter, party information for conflict checks, firm fit, and scheduling. The attorney handles legal advice and determines whether the firm can accept the matter.
The team can arrange an attorney consultation by phone, video or in person, subject to availability. The Initial Case Assessment is non-attorney intake; it does not include legal advice or document review. Ask the team to confirm the consultation fee, scope and payment arrangements before booking.
Whether you have a legal question, need to schedule a consultation, or want to learn more about how we can help, we respond quickly and clearly.
Nothing on this form creates an attorney-client relationship. Do not send confidential information until an engagement is signed.
