Business Law Services We Provide

Business Formation and Structuring

Selecting the right business structure is a critical decision that affects liability, taxation, and operational flexibility. We assist clients in forming and structuring various business entities, including corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and sole proprietorships. We can help ensure compliance with legal requirements, and we can draft foundational documents such as articles of incorporation, bylaws, and operating agreements.

LLC Operating Agreements

An LLC operating agreement defines the internal rules of a limited liability company, clarifying ownership percentages, management responsibilities, and profit distributions. We work with our clients to draft customized agreements that address key issues such as:

• Member contributions and ownership interests
• Voting rights and decision-making processes
• Dispute resolution mechanisms
• Exit strategies for members

These agreements protect the interests of all stakeholders while minimizing potential conflicts.

Asset and Stock Purchases and Sales

Buying or selling assets or stock involves negotiations, due diligence, and regulatory compliance. Fox & Moghul represents buyers and sellers, helping them structure and execute these transactions. We work to ensure that our clients' interests are protected while helping them address tax and liability implications.

Mergers and Acquisitions

We guide clients through all phases of M&A transactions, including:

• Drafting and negotiating purchase agreements
• Conducting due diligence to identify risks and opportunities
• Securing regulatory approvals
• Managing post-merger integration issues

Founders' Agreements

For startups, founders' agreements lay the groundwork for collaboration and success. Fox & Moghul helps entrepreneurs define their roles, responsibilities, equity splits, and decision-making processes. We help our clients ensure that these agreements address potential conflicts and provide a clear roadmap for growth.

Shareholder Agreements

Shareholder agreements establish rules for ownership, voting rights, and the transfer of shares in corporations. We draft comprehensive agreements to protect shareholder interests and ensure that corporate governance aligns with the company's objectives.

Joint Venture Agreements

Joint ventures enable businesses to pool their resources for mutual benefit. Fox & Moghul drafts and negotiates joint venture agreements, addressing critical aspects such as financial contributions, profit-sharing, management responsibilities, and dispute resolution.

Licensing

Licensing agreements allow businesses to monetize their intellectual property while retaining control over its use. We help clients negotiate and draft licensing agreements for trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets, ensuring that these arrangements align with their strategic goals.

Business Dissolution and Restructuring

When businesses face challenges or decide to transition, dissolution or restructuring may be necessary. We assist clients in navigating these processes, addressing legal obligations, managing creditor relationships, and ensuring that assets are distributed fairly. We also advise on restructuring strategies to improve financial health and operational efficiency.
