Jurisdiction for a business contract?

I am starting a new business venture and need to create a business contract. I am unsure of which jurisdiction the contract should be written in, as my business will have operations in multiple states. I am looking for advice on which jurisdiction would be most suitable for my business contract.

I most instances, I would specify in the contract that the laws of the State of your principal office and business operations apply to the contract. I would also include a mandatory local jurisdiction and local venue for the same reasons. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue are each separate concepts.

What would an individual hoping to start small businesses with no funding now need in a loyal and sincere legal professional?

I am a woman who have varied ideas for businesses and who needs to have a cost line item for a good lawyer who can handle my needs (which I may not know now) in starting a consulting business in managing projects, travels, speech deliveries - story telling, and may be, some property deals among others. I am also one who have a nonprofit that needs guidance. I may be the focus brand but with for profit and nonprofit organization biases. How do i proceed with inclusion in my proposed budget for a reasonable, fair and loyal legal professional who can grow with me and stay on me for progress? I can also become internationally business minded. Costing please?

Would creating an investment LLC benefit me?

I am an active day trader (and may invest in real estate this year) so, would setting up an "investment LLC" be a benefit for me and help me lower my tax obligation when taking monthly profits as part of my "salary"? Should I include my wife as an employee and pay her as an expense? And, my sons, to a lesser degree? Would Capital gains be calculated differently if I just invested as an individual? Is an LLC the best corporate type of filing? Thank you, Peter F.
