Business Law Questions—Answered
Whether you’re starting your first LLC or restructuring a growing company, we’re here to help. These FAQs cover some of the top legal concerns our business clients bring to us.
What’s the best legal structure for my business?
It depends on your goals. LLCs offer flexibility and limited liability. Corporations may be better for raising capital. We’ll help you choose the right entity type for your vision—and file everything properly with the State of Utah.
Do I really need an operating agreement or bylaws?
Yes. Even single-member LLCs benefit from having an operating agreement to clarify internal rules, succession, and responsibilities. For corporations, bylaws are essential for compliance and shareholder protection.
Can you help with Utah business contracts I already drafted?
Absolutely. We review and revise contracts to ensure they’re enforceable, aligned with Utah law, and free of risky or unclear language.
What’s included in general counsel services?
Our outside general counsel plans include ongoing advice on contracts, employment issues, compliance, business disputes, and more. It’s like having an in-house legal team—without the full-time cost.
