corporate governance
Watkins Legal’s corporate practice is designed for growing companies.
When you are just starting out, the legalese that surrounds corporate law and the conflicting advice received from friends and family often creates confusion and a lack of attention to your corporate structure. However, the best time for founders to think about their corporate structure is at the beginning.
When building value, building a company, or courting investment, companies often find that they need to change their corporate structure. Whether that’s because one of the owners is no longer pulling their weight, an opportunity to bring on a strategic new owner came up, or a company wants to incentivize its workforce, Watkins Legal is here to help you navigate the legal, and often personal, complexities that come with these changes to an established company.
