    Protect Your Business, Your Family, and Your Future

        Your business is often your largest asset. Without the right documents in place, a sudden illness, disability, or death can leave your family and your company in a difficult position. We help you build a coordinated plan so your wishes are clear and your successors are prepared.

        As your business law attorney in Wrigleyville, we focus on how your company fits into your overall estate plan. That includes who will own and manage the business, how your interest will be valued, and how to provide for family members who may or may not be involved in day-to-day operations.

        Key areas we often address include:

        • Aligning your will and trust with your ownership interests  

        • Structuring or updating operating agreements and buy-sell agreements  

        • Planning for management and voting control if you become incapacitated  

        • Coordinating life insurance with your business succession plan  

        • Providing for family members fairly when some are active in the business and others are not  

        When your business and personal planning work together, you reduce the risk of conflict, court involvement, and financial strain on the people you care about most.

        Why Choose Marshiano Law Group for Your Business Legal Needs?

        What to Expect From the Planning Process

        We start by listening. You share how your business works, who is involved, and what you want to see happen in both best-case and worst-case scenarios. We ask clear, practical questions to uncover risks and opportunities that affect your succession and estate plan.

        From there, your business law attorney in Wrigleyville will outline options in plain language so you understand the impact of each choice. We then draft the documents needed to carry out your plan, which may include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and business succession agreements. Once documents are finalized and signed, we help you keep the plan current as your company and your family grow and change.

        Our real estate closing fees are competitive and transparent. For most residential transactions, we charge a flat fee ranging from $650 to $950, depending on the complexity. Commercial transactions are typically quoted based on the specific requirements of the deal. We’ll provide clear pricing during your initial consultation.

        Our business law services are structured with transparent pricing models designed to provide value. We offer hourly rates, flat fees for specific projects, and monthly retainer options for ongoing counsel. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the most cost-effective approach for your specific needs.

        LLCs (Limited Liability Companies) offer liability protection with more flexible management and tax options, while corporations provide a more structured approach with shareholders, directors, and officers. S-Corporations can offer tax advantages for some businesses. The right choice depends on your specific business goals, tax situation, and growth plans.

        While not legally required, having an attorney review important contracts is a valuable protection. Business owners without legal training often miss crucial details in contract language that can create significant liability or disadvantage. For routine contracts, we can help create templates that reduce ongoing legal costs while maintaining protection.

        Even if you’re already facing a dispute, a business attorney can develop strategies to resolve the matter efficiently, represent your interests in negotiations or litigation, and work to minimize potential damages. Early involvement of counsel often leads to more favorable outcomes and can prevent costly escalation of conflicts.
