In today’s complex legal environment, successful business operations require more than standard solutions. At WhiteBird, PLLC, we serve a wide range of industries, from startups to established enterprises, providing tailored advice to meet the specific needs and goals of our clients.
Our firm aims to work in partnership with clients on all aspects of their business dealings. Our experience includes:
Business Formation and Structuring
Choosing the right legal structure can have significant implications for a business’s operations, tax treatment, liability exposure, governance, and ownership. Our corporate attorneys help clients evaluate these considerations and select and form the entity that best supports their business objectives, whether a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other structure. We also prepare the organizational and governing documents necessary to establish the entity and clearly define its ownership and management structure.
Corporate Governance
Effective corporate governance provides a framework for how a business is owned, managed, and operated. Our corporate governance services often include interpreting and amending governing documents, advising on shareholder, member, director, and manager rights and obligations, implementing ownership and management changes, and navigating matters requiring approval by a company’s governing body or owners. We also prepare resolutions, written consents, minutes, and other corporate records necessary to properly authorize and document significant company actions.
Contracts and Commercial Transactions
Commercial agreements define important business relationships and allocate the risks associated with them. Our corporate attorneys regularly prepare, review, and negotiate confidentiality, licensing, commercial lease, development, shareholder, partnership, and other agreements supporting our clients’ business activities.
Employment and Executive Agreements
We help businesses structure employment relationships in a manner that establishes clear expectations while protecting confidential information and other important business interests. Our attorneys prepare, review, and negotiate executive employment, independent contractor, compensation, restrictive covenant, and separation agreements tailored to each client’s operational needs and applicable legal requirements. We also identify and address employment related considerations in mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, and other strategic transactions to help clients maintain continuity and reduce the risk of unexpected obligations or disputes.
Tax Planning
Our corporate attorneys work hand in hand with WhiteBird’s tax attorneys and our clients’ professional advisors to evaluate those considerations together and structure transactions and business arrangements in a tax-efficient manner. This collaborative approach allows us to address the legal, tax, and business implications of entity formation and structuring, acquisitions, dispositions, reorganizations, investments, and other business transactions.
Mergers, Acquisitions, and Strategic Transactions
We represent buyers and sellers in mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, recapitalizations, reorganizations, investments, joint ventures, and other strategic transactions. Our attorneys help clients evaluate and structure transactions, identify and address legal and business risks, negotiate terms, and move efficiently toward closing. We guide clients through each stage of the process, from letters of intent and due diligence through definitive and ancillary agreements and closing.
Ongoing Business Counsel
Our representation often extends beyond a particular transaction. We regularly serve as outside counsel to businesses and business owners, providing practical guidance as legal issues arise and helping clients anticipate and address matters that may affect their operations or future plans.
