Restaurant Setup
Selecting your business entity is a decision that relies upon multiple factors. Along with your accountant, a restaurant attorney will help you decide if an LLC, corporation, or partnership is your best option and provide guidance on taxation issues.
We will also help you register your business in Chicago to the Illinois Secretary of State and draft all the necessary documents to formally establish your business.
Shareholder and Partnership Agreements
Depending on the structure of your restaurant or hotel, you will need to have contracts that formally define the organization of your business. We can help you write, review, or negotiate LLC operating agreements, corporation bylaws, and shareholder agreements.
Mergers and acquisitions
If you are looking to buy or sell a restaurant, our M&A attorney will draft and review the concerning contracts, conduct due diligence and prepare all the documents and procedures that will help you have a smooth purchase. We also assist in other business transactions, such as joint ventures and mergers. From letters of intent, to restaurant purchase and sale agreements, our restaurant M&A lawyer will ensure an agile business transaction.
Restaurant franchise lawyer
Take that franchising opportunity! Our restaurant franchise attorneys will help you determine if buying the franchise is a good investment. We review the franchise disclosure agreement, explain your rights and responsibilities as a franchisee, and negotiate your terms, if necessary.
Commercial contracts
As a restaurant owner, you will rely heavily on beneficial business relationships with suppliers, distributors, and other business owners. We help you with a variety of contracts, including vendor and contractor agreements, import and export arrangements, management contracts, NDAs, supplier and distribution agreements, and consulting contracts.
