Business Formation and Corporate Governance
Entity structure, ownership documents and governance practices set up so they still work when the company grows, takes on partners or raises money.
Structure decisions are hard to undo
Forming an entity is straightforward. Getting the ownership, control and exit terms right is the part that matters, and the part that is expensive to fix once there is real value in the company or a disagreement between founders.
Liva Law handles New Jersey formations and the documents that go with them: operating agreements, shareholder and partnership agreements, member and board resolutions, buy-sell and transfer provisions, and the records that keep the entity distinct from the people who own it.
For existing companies, the work is usually a cleanup. Missing minutes, an operating agreement that no longer describes who does what, signature authority nobody has confirmed in years. Those gaps tend to surface during a financing, an audit or a dispute, which is the worst time to discover them.
