Southern California Business Entity Selection and Transactions

As part of our estate planning services, we advise many clients about family business succession planning for the next generation of management, or about the formation of family partnerships and LLCs for the transfer of personal assets out of an estate subject to tax liability. For entrepreneurs and new businesses, we will work with you to match your new business entity to your capital structure, risk tolerance, and management philosophy.

Whether you're starting a new corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or S corporation, we can make sure that your articles of incorporation or organization are properly drafted and filed, and that you have all of the documentation necessary to define your management and capital relationships, such as buy-sell agreements, operating agreements, or shareholder agreements.

We also advise businesses about long-term strategic planning, tax issues, and daily operations. Our Orange County business attorneys can advise your company about  customer or supplier agreements, contractor agreements, real estate contracts, secured financing arrangements, and licensing or distribution agreements. Our goal in all cases is to make sure your rights are fully documented and enforceable while protecting you from risk or liability.

Orange County Commercial and Residential Real Estate Transactions

We advise business, family, trust, and probate clients about all phases of real estate development, purchase, or sale. Whether you need advice in the negotiation of a commercial lease contract or representation in the sale of property from a decedent's estate, we can handle the transaction promptly and cost-effectively. Our attorneys Jim Schmiesing and Tim Blied are also licensed California real estate brokers, and can represent buyers or sellers in that capacity as well.

We not only advise clients in the negotiation, purchase, or sale of real estate, we also assist owners and developers with problems involving land use and zoning, construction contracts, environmental issues, easements, title, and financing questions. For further information about our ability to protect and advance your interests in any real estate project, contact an Orange County real estate attorney at Schmiesing Blied Stoddart & Mackey.
