Corporations, Limited Liability Companies and Other Entities

Our business attorneys assist in the formation, restructuring, reorganization and maintenance of corporations, professional corporations, limited liability companies, professional limited liability companies, partnerships and nonprofit corporations, including documentation governing ownership and management of such entities in Michigan.

When forming an entity, one of the most important considerations in selecting the type of entity is the tax consequences to the entity and the owners of such entity. C-corporations, S-corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies are treated differently for tax purposes and choosing the correct entity can result in significant tax savings.

In addition to preparing the documentation related to forming an entity, O'Reilly Rancilio's Michigan business law attorneys also assist in analyzing the tax issues related to choosing the proper entity or structuring such entity in a manner that will be most beneficial to the entity or owners.
