Howland Hess O'Connell can form your Subchapter S corporation, LLC or LLP within 48 hours, filing the organization papers in Harrisburg or Trenton. The firm will also apply for and obtain from the IRS your EIN. Our attorneys will also, if requested, schedule annual meetings of shareholders and directors, prepare the minutes of those meetings, etc.
In addition to providing expertise in business transactions, our attorneys work closely with clients, providing advice and counsel on the practical, day-to-day issues which arise in any business: employment and human resources issues, evaluation of risk and avoiding litigation.
We provide the expertise and efficiency normally associated with a larger firm, while our small-firm environment allows our attorneys to develop familiarity with individual clients and the needs of their business.
