If you are looking for our business attorneys to handle your commercial property closing, settle your business tax debt, conduct a buy or sell business closing, or if you want to join our business maintenance plan, we need to make sure the underlying business entity is properly formed, organized, and compliant with Connecticut law so that it can legally enter into the contemplated transaction and agreements.

Step Two: Get your business compliance analyzed**

If after our initial phone meeting our business attorney finds that we can help you meet your business goals, they will offer to review your business documents.

We will begin by compiling your business documents. We will create a login for you on our Secure File Portal.

  • We will upload a Power of Attorney and Authorizations allowing us to look into your business paperwork further
    • You sign the Power of Attorney and Authorizations and upload them back to the Secure File Portal
    • We compile the remaining documents necessary for us to complete the business compliance review

We will review your business documentation for compliance with State laws and create a custom report that will tell you the health of your business organization:

  • Was it properly formed under the laws of the State of Connecticut?cost of business compliance

  • Do you have the proper licensing and is it still in effect.
  • Is your business being operated according to your founder agreements?

Our Fine Print:

* Please be advised this is strictly an introductory phone meeting. We cannot ethically offer legal advice or discuss resolution options during the initial phone meeting. 

** Analyzing your business compliance involves compiling a large amount of documentation and financial information and going through it all with a fine toothed comb. Our business attorneys must research your industry, Connecticut regulation of that industry, as well as industry customs and standards. Finally, it is all be wrapped up nicely in a report that is easy to understand. The amount of paperwork and level of attention to detail makes this a very time consuming task. Therefore, our document review and report drafting fee is $1,250. This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, but we are confident that you will see the value in having your business compliance reviewed, your questions answered and receiving real legal advice.
