Establishing a startup on a solid legal foundation is critical to attracting venture capital and avoiding future liability. Eric B. Alspaugh APC specializes in business formation, advising founders on the ideal structures-such as limited liability companies (LLCs), S corporations, and partnerships-that align with their tax and operational goals. Beyond entity setup, the firm assists selectively with mergers and acquisitions, private equity due diligence, licensing agreements, and corporate governance. If you are preparing for a major capital event or need an attorney to draft robust shareholder agreements, we deliver the transactional expertise normally found at large firms, without the massive overhead.
