Every business, from startups to established enterprises, requires strategic legal guidance to navigate corporate challenges. At MST Law, we provide comprehensive corporate law services to help businesses in Illinois manage legal risks, optimize operations, and achieve long-term success.
Choosing the right legal structure is a foundational step in starting a business. In Illinois, businesses can operate as sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, or limited liability companies (LLCs), each with unique tax and liability implications. For example, LLCs provide liability protection while avoiding corporate double taxation, making them a popular choice for small and mid-sized businesses.
Proper governance is equally important. Illinois law requires corporations to maintain bylaws, hold shareholder meetings, and adhere to fiduciary responsibilities. Businesses that fail to comply with these requirements risk penalties, dissolution and veil piercing (meaning an aggrieved party could pursue a business owner personally).
Our attorneys draft, review, and negotiate contracts to preempt legal conflicts.
Illinois has seen a steady increase in business acquisitions, with small-to-mid-sized businesses being acquired at growing rates. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) involve complex legal, financial, and regulatory considerations. Due diligence is critical to evaluating liabilities, intellectual property, and contract obligations before finalizing any transaction.
At MST Law, we assist businesses in all aspects of M&A, from structuring deals to ensuring regulatory compliance. Whether you are selling a business, acquiring a competitor, or merging entities, our team will protect your interests.
Businesses in Illinois must adhere to a wide range of regulations, from consumer protection laws to employment regulations. Non-compliance can result in lawsuits, fines, or reputational damage. We help businesses develop compliance programs that reduce legal exposure and promote ethical business practices.
