Choosing the right business structure is one of the most important decisions a business owner can make. Entity selection affects taxation, liability protection, ownership flexibility, succession planning, and future business transactions. Careful planning during formation—and throughout the life of a business—can help reduce unnecessary tax burdens while supporting long-term growth.

Our attorneys work closely with business owners, executives, CPAs, and financial advisors to develop legal strategies that align with each client’s operational and financial goals.
Corporate and partnership tax laws relate to the systems of income and franchise taxation used for taxing incorporated entities, LLCs, limited partnerships and other tax partnerships, including businesses and not-for-profit charities. These laws often differ from the systems for taxing individuals, and in some cases can have implications for individual taxation or the equity holders of the businesses as well. For example, S corporations and tax partnerships enjoy what is known as pass-through taxation. Therefore, the S corporation and tax partnership are not responsible for paying the income taxes, instead the obligation is reported at the entity level and in turn passed through to the shareholders or tax partners, as applicable. This distinction becomes quite relevant when the client is deciding whether to have its organization taxes as a standard C corporation or a pass-through entity.
Corporate and partnership taxes can refer to taxation systems for both state and federal level taxes. Additionally, different taxing structures may apply to corporations and tax partnerships based on their type. For example, a not-for-profit corporation engaged in charitable or religious activities may qualify for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Obtaining the prized tax-exempt status often requires the assistance of a skilled lawyer and/or CPA.

Hiring a corporate attorney helps businesses make informed legal decisions from the start.

Corporate law focuses on the legal formation, governance, operation, and transactions of businesses, while partnership tax addresses how business entities are taxed under federal and state law. Many business decisions involve both legal and tax considerations, making coordinated advice especially valuable.
Pass-through taxation allows business income to pass directly to the owners or partners instead of being taxed at the business entity level. This structure is commonly used by S corporations, partnerships, and many limited liability companies (LLCs), although the most appropriate tax treatment depends on each business’s circumstances.
The right business structure depends on factors such as liability protection, ownership, taxation, management, and long-term business goals. Our attorneys help clients evaluate LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and other entity structures to determine the option that best fits their needs.
