Too often we review corporate
governance documents prepared in
a "one size fits all" manner. Unfortunately when we do it is
because our involvement is asked for at a time when it is too late to be
proactive. For example, when we are retained for shareholder/
member litigation or entity dissolution. As part of the formation
of any entity, it is critical that the time and effort be put into
drafting and adopting documents that will build the "basement floor"
necessary to avoid disagreements in the future. These documents
include: By-laws, operating agreements, buy/sell agreements,
voting agreements and wide range of other documents necessary for
personal liability protection, amicable relations between ownership and
smooth management of the entity.
We have an emphasis in the corporate governance of
professional entities including physicians, lawyers and accountants
practices.

of business transactions.
