Dillon N.
My practice has involved a wide range of legal matters from commercial real estate, finance and international business transactions to litigation matters including commercial disputes, real estate, employment, and medical malpractice. Proficient in Spanish, I graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Law, the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, and the University of Southern California. Prior to my legal career, I sought diverse professional experiences. After graduating from college, I orchestrated my own volunteering experience in southern Peru with a small non-profit organization. Later I gained valuable professional experience as part of a U.S. Senate campaign, and after that I joined the public policy team at Greater Louisville, Inc., Louisville's Chamber of Commerce affiliate. Prior to law school, I embarked on a month long excursion with the Northern Outdoor Leadership School in Alaska, which gave me a new found appreciation for sustainability.

Corporate Legal Questions and Answers
Corporate
LLC
Connecticut
LLC and confidentiality clauses?
I recently started a small business and am looking to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC). I want to ensure that the confidentiality of the LLC and its members is protected, as it is a very competitive market. I am looking for advice on what clauses I should include in the LLC documents to ensure maximum confidentiality.
Thomas L.
You should include a separate non-disclosure agreement for each person.
Corporate
Certificate of Good Standing
Ohio
Can you explain what a Certificate of Good Standing is and why it is important for a business?
I recently started a small business and I have heard about this document called a Certificate of Good Standing. I am not entirely sure what it is and why it is important, so I would like some clarification. From my understanding, it is a document issued by the state where my business is registered, but I am unsure of its purpose and how it affects my business. I want to make sure I am in compliance with all necessary requirements and understand the implications of obtaining or not obtaining this certificate.
Melissa G.
A certificate of good standing shows that your business has complied with all of the applicable laws and regulations for the state in which the business operates (e.g., all required reports have been filed like the annual report; the business has paid all taxes and fees; the business has met any necessary licensing and regulatory requirements, etc.). and that the business is legally authorized to operate in a state. It is important to have so that the business can show potential partners, investors, or lenders that your business has taken the necessary steps to ensure its legal status in the state.
Corporate
LLC
Connecticut
How does an LLC work?
I am in the process of starting a business and have been advised to form an LLC. I am not familiar with the structure of an LLC, and am interested in learning more about how it works and the benefits it provides. I would like to understand the legal implications of forming an LLC and how it can help protect my personal assets.
Thomas L.
Tax: An LLC is a "pass-through" entity, so it does not pay income taxes. Instead, its owners pay income taxes on their share of the LLCs profits. So it avoids the double taxation of corporations (the corporate pays income taxes and then the stockholders pay income taxes on their dividends). 2. An LLC is controlled by its "Operating Agreement" (similar to corporate bylaws). An LLC can be set up as a limited partnership (passive investors, and the Managers have 100% control - e.g. real estate), a corporation (the investors get to vote once a year for a "Board of Managers" - a business with significant investment), or a partnership (no board, the owners all vote on every issue - a professional services firm). The choice depends on the nature of the business.
Corporate
Form 1120-S
California
Can a corporation elect to be treated as an S corporation after filing Form 1120-S?
I am the owner of a small corporation that has been filing taxes using Form 1120-S for several years, and I recently learned about the potential tax benefits of electing S corporation status. I am interested in exploring this option and would like to know if it is possible to retroactively elect S corporation status for previous tax years, or if it can only be done prospectively.
Dolan W.
Hello! Tha answer is yes. What you need to do is seek a late election using Form 2553. Your late S corp election must be filed within three years and 75 days after its proposed effective date. This means that you can do this retroactively. You can even start here with this video to figure out how - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA81sVVtgp8 Best of luck!

S Corp
California
S corp and corporate restructuring?
I am looking to restructure my business, which is incorporated as an S corp. I am looking for advice on how to best restructure the business to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the new structure is advantageous for the business. I am considering various options such as merging with another business, changing the ownership structure, or forming a new entity. I am seeking legal advice on the best approach and the potential implications of each option.
Chris J.
Hi: Generally speaking, you have several options (many of which you've identified). 1. You can revoke S-Corp status (if you have a corporation and want C-Corp status). However, revocation won't be effective until the 2024 tax year. With that said, sometimes people inadvertently revoke S-Corp status by taking certain actions (which we can discuss). 2. You can create a new entity and structure it in the way you want (corporation, LLC, partnership, etc.). Then, you can wind down the S-Corp. 3. You can merge your existing S-Corp into an entity and have that entity survive and your S-Corp "merge out" and disappear. The approach that makes the most sense depends upon your business, the assets held by your S-Corp, and your objectives. Best regards, Chris Jackson
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
