Elgin IL Attorneys for General Counsel Services, Corporate Liability and Strategy

Oftentimes, businesses may determine that retaining in-house counsel is not a cost-effective option. Others with a dedicated legal staff may find that current circumstances have created an unmanageable workload of legal concerns. One potential solution is to contract with an experienced outside source of legal assistance. The attorneys at Ariano Hardy Ritt Nyuli Richmond Lytle & Goettel, P.C. (AHR) assist businesses and corporations with matters that involve general counsel, transactional oversight, and contract implementation, as well as corporate compliance, liability, and compliance matters.

Corporate Liability and Strategy

Forming and conducting business as a corporate entity aids in protecting individuals associated with the organization from most personal liability for the business's debts. We are able to provide assistance in forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC), which is a corporate configuration that shares aspects of both a corporation and sole proprietorships and partnerships.

Our lawyers will proactively help you avoid liabilities involved with legal predicaments by managing risks and protecting from litigation. Identifying and achieving risk-management goals across the organization can be done while also executing legal strategies that will boost ROI. One effective technique involves building strategic agreements that are mutually beneficial and also encourage investors.
