Comprehensive Business Legal Services

Starting and running a business requires more than just a great idea—it requires a solid legal foundation. At Sumner Law LLP, we partner with entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses to provide the legal guidance needed to protect your interests and position your company for sustainable growth.

Business Formation Services

Choosing the right business structure is one of the most important decisions you'll make. We help you understand the implications of each option and guide you through the formation process:

  • Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) - Flexible structure with liability protection
  • Corporations (C-Corp & S-Corp) - Traditional corporate structures for growth
  • Partnerships - General and limited partnership formations
  • Sole Proprietorships - Simple structures for individual entrepreneurs
  • Professional Corporations - Corporate entities designed for licensed professionals

Many businesses need reliable legal guidance but don't require a full-time in-house attorney. Our general counsel services provide you with experienced legal support on an as-needed basis:

  • Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
  • Employment policies and compliance
  • Regulatory compliance guidance
  • Corporate governance and board matters
  • Risk management and liability assessment
  • Vendor and supplier agreements
  • Intellectual property protection strategies

Strategic Business Planning

We work with business owners to anticipate challenges and plan for the future:

  • Business succession planning
  • Buy-sell agreements
  • Partnership and shareholder agreements
  • Mergers and acquisitions support
  • Exit strategy development
