Greenberg Glusker’s business and tax attorneys have expertise in analyzing the appropriate form of entity through which a client should conduct business.  Among the issues and individual factors we consider are the client’s business and tax goals, investment criteria and liability concerns. 
We are often called upon to advise clients on operating issues that often confront the business owner.  We advise clients on concerns related to employees, strategic alliances or ventures with third parties, and contractual arrangements with suppliers, distributors and other people conducting business with our clients.
