Areas of Practice - Business & Corporate Law

The stages of growth

Companies grow through stages. Some of those stages are predictable. Many are not. As companies mature and develop, we are available with practical legal advice, including the analysis of a new venture’s feasibility, the selection of the most suitable entity formation, the preparation or review of partnership agreements, incorporation documents, buyout agreements and leases.

Continuity of services

There are cycles in the business world. We help plan for those cycles by providing seasoned counseling on a continuing basis, including tax and financial advice, the development of compensation plans, and the preparation of purchase and sale agreements for asset and stock sales. For individuals and closely-held companies, we often serve as outside advisors who are familiar with business planning in general and their company in particular. Burke & Casserly, P.C. can offer objective advice specific to a client’s situation within a larger context.

Employee benefit plans

Employees bring varied skills as well as challenges to companies. As part of our business and tax practice we are involved in the design and implementation of employee benefit plans, from the drafting, implementation, and administration of those plans to handling compliance with IRS and ERISA regulations.

Employee benefit plans include qualified retirement plans (pension, profit-sharing, and cafeteria plans) and non-qualified executive compensation plans (including deferred compensation and stock bonus plans). We are available to present employee seminars to help explain the positive impact of the employee benefit plans.
