Boca Raton Business Succession Planning Attorney

Representing Florida Businesses Owners

When a business owner wishes to retire or passes away, many questions arise, including whether to pass ownership of the business to a business partner or keep it in the family. There are a number of business succession planning tools available to protect the interests of you, your family members and business partners.

At the Law Offices of Larry E. Bray, with locations in Lake Worth, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach, we have a demonstrated track record of success in estate planning and business succession planning. We help people create business entities to protect their businesses and their assets, including limited liability companies, corporations, limited partnerships and other business entities.

In addition, our firm advises business owners about the consequences of buying or selling business assets or stock. We handle every business sale, business acquisition, or other commercial transaction with honesty, integrity and tenacity.

Business and commercial law are broad legal topics that encompass business, commerce, consumer transactions, the formation and management of business entities, acquisitions and mergers, employment issues, contracts and finance. Some of the more important areas of commercial law include sales, secured transactions, negotiable instruments, and debtor and creditor law. Business law overlaps, but also includes the formation and management of business entities. The four major business organization forms include: (1) the partnership, (2) the limited liability company, (3) the corporation, and (4) the sole proprietorship. Each has advantages and disadvantages, but when choosing the correct form for your business the core focus should be on personal liability and tax implications.
