Business Entity Formation and Corporate Structuring
One of the first steps in starting a new business or expanding operations of an existing business is selecting a business entity. Whether you are launching a new venture or reorganizing an existing business, careful planning ensures your business can meet current needs and achieve future goals.
Business Entity Formation
Generally speaking, the main purpose of forming an entity (as opposed to operating as a sole proprietor) is to form a liability shield that protects the business owners, as individuals, from personal exposure to company debts and liabilities. Selecting the right business entity is a very important decision. The choice comes down to a variety of factors like tax treatment, profit & loss sharing, ownership dynamics, fundraising, strategic decision-making, and management authority.
Once the entity type is selected, the next critical step is to ensure the business is properly established and compliant. Your company should comply with applicable laws and use governing documents (like Bylaws or an Operating Agreement) as internal rules for operating the business and solving problems as the company grows. Observing corporate formalities helps maintain the integrity of the liability shield and the benefits of your chosen business structure. If you fail to comply, your liability shield can be pierced, and you can be held personally liable for the business’s legal, tax, and financial obligations.
Correctly forming a business entity and then operating it within the law is not as simple as filing paperwork online. Drexler Law assists business owners in selecting the most suitable entity for their circumstances, forming the entity correctly, drafting quality documents, advising them how to operate the selected entity type, and providing ongoing legal support when necessary.
Corporate Structuring
Once a business is formed, thoughtful structuring determines how it operates and develops over time. If your business operations would benefit from adding a subsidiary or parent organization, reorganizing ownership, improving the flow of profits and losses, positioning the company for outside investment, or succession planning, you may wish to consider adjusting the structure of your business organization. Drexler Law can help you design a business structure that supports your strategic goals.

"Outstanding Representation!"
Matthew Drexler represented me during a difficult period of time in my life. He did an outstanding job understanding all of my issues, was very responsive, and gave me the best advice possible. Additionally, his staff was very helpful and the whole team worked together to make this a rather fairly pleasant experience for me. I couldn't have asked for better representation. I am very happy with the end result and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has made the decision to file for a divorce.- Jason R.Colorado Springs, CO -

"Everyone on the staff always treated us like family."
Mrs. Drexler was awesome! We had a tuff case, fighting for custody of our grandson after his mother's passing. Mrs. Drexler was very patient and understanding with me, knowing how nervous and confused at times I was. She was quick to respond to emails, no matter the importance! Matt and Caitlin Capo were also great! There was always someone available and willing to help. Everyone on the staff always treated us like family. The cost was definitely worth the knowledgeable and family oriented services we received! We would definitely recommend Drexler Law to anyone in need of a friendly knowledgeable Law firm! Thank you so much to everyone at Drexler Law, for everything you have done for me and my family! A+++++++++- Michael M., CO -
"I made the right decision in choosing Drexler Law Firm."
I had a fantastic experience with Drexler Law firm. A few years ago I had gone through a very rough period in my life, and voluntarily turned over my children to their mother for primary care while I hunted for jobs. However, I did not use an attorney, and wound up giving her complete custody, something I had not expected, and was told I would not get them back. After getting my job back, I researched law firms and saw that Drexler specialized in family law, child support, and custody issues. They were up-front with me on costs and chances of winning my children back. We won. I'm back with my children with fully joint custody, and we even avoided going to court. Having a knowledgeable law firm represent you is the only way to go when everything matters. During the legal back-and-forth process, it was easy to tell that the level of effort, experience, and skill on the part of Drexler was far above the opposing counsel. I made the right decision in choosing Drexler Law Firm.- Mike -
