Business

Here is a summary of the legal services provided by Attorney Harry Histen to business clients in western Riverside and San Bernardino counties in California.

Business Formation
Choosing the right business entity for your commercial enterprise can provide you tax advantages as well as liability protection.  Most clients who want to protect their personal assets from lawsuits involving their business choose a corporation or LLC (Limited Liability Corporation) model.  Some startup businesses that do not have significant liability concerns may choose a less formal business structure, since California imposes an annual tax on Limited Liability Corporations and corporations whether they make money or not.  Lawyer Histen offers advice and counsel to help you chose the right form of business organization for your enterprise to protect your assets, minimize your taxes and keep your life as uncomplicated as possible.

Agreements between principals
If you have business interests with one or more partner, Attorney Histen can help you craft buy-sell agreements and shareholder agreements.  These agreements spell out the terms of how partners can buy or sell their interests in the business to other partners in the event of death, disability, or if one partner simply wants out of the business.  These agreements can also protect business interests if one of the partners divorces.

Business litigation
Lawyer Harry Histen represents businesses and business owners in all types of litigation involving their business interests, including:

  • Contracts
  • Business disputes between principals
  • Partnership dissolutions

Succession planning
Attorney Histen offers succession planning for business owners as a part of his estate planning services.  Succession planning involves passing business assets to children while avoiding probate and minimizing any estate taxes.  At the same time, succession planning helps families provide for both control of the business and equal distribution of assets to children who are not involved in the business.
