Business Planning

•Company Formation (Bylaws, Operating Agreement)

•Buy-Sell Agreements for Shareholders and Members

•Contract Negotiations

•Purchase and Sale of Company

The Kashef Law Group has extensive experience with assisting new business owners with its entity formation to established businesses with more complex transactional and shareholder concerns. We work closely with your professional team (CPA, financial advisor, etc.) to ensure that you maximize business revenues and profitability, while minimizing the company’s legal exposure.

Common critical areas to consider for business owners are Buy-Sell Agreements (to ensure the orderly transition in the event of a partner’s death, disability or other triggering event) and Business Succession Planning (passing the family-owned business from the older generation to the younger generation at a minimal tax cost).

The time to address these concerns is at the outset of the business “marriage,” when all parties are still in the honeymoon stage and most open to discussing these critical business issues.

Estate Planning

•Wills and Trusts

•Durable Power of Attorney (Financial POA)

•Healthcare Power of Attorney

•Living Wills

•Special Needs Planning

Our clients have worked hard during their lifetimes, building a home for their families and securing assets for their future. By executing a Will & Trust, you ensure that your property and possessions will be distributed to those you leave behind, pursuant to your wishes. You will be providing clear instruction regarding the handling of your estate, which provides comfort and helps to avoid conflict among family members. A Will & Trust can also give parents peace of mind, knowing that their minor children will be cared for and protected by the guardian(s) of their choosing.

Absent a Will & Trust, State law will determine how your possessions are divided and a guardianship proceeding will be necessary to determine who will care for minor children. This may result in the distribution of your estate or the appointment of a guardian that is contrary to your wishes.

In addition, there are various events that may occur in life that affect your estate planning and result in a desire to modify an existing plan. A marriage, a divorce, grandchildren, the death or illness of a spouse or the receipt of an inheritance are all good reasons to review your current estate plan.

At The Kashef Law Group, we strive to provide our clients with peace of mind, knowing that, in the event of their passing, their loves ones will be protected and provided for pursuant to the client’s explicit wishes.
