Corporate & Business
Formation through exit — corporate, transactional, and governance counsel for companies from start-up to public.
Corporate and business counsel at Green & Sklarz is designed for owners who want a single team across formation, growth, transactions, and eventual exit — not a series of handoffs. Our transactional lawyers work directly with the firm's tax, estate planning, real estate, and litigation groups, which is what allows us to structure a deal, a governance change, or a compensation arrangement in a way that survives audit, dispute, and generational transfer.
The client base runs from entrepreneurial and family-owned businesses to public companies, and the work includes governance, financing, and the operational contracts that keep companies running.
Service scope
LLC, S-corp, C-corp, and partnership structures selected for tax posture, capital plans, and eventual exit — not template choice.
Bylaws, operating agreements, shareholder agreements, board procedures, minority-owner protections, and voting arrangements.
Stock and asset transactions, earn-outs, rollover equity, and post-closing dispute prevention.
Debt and equity financings, subordination and intercreditor arrangements, and negotiation with institutional lenders.
Manufacturing, distribution, licensing, complex services, and construction agreements drafted for the enforcement scenario, not just the closing.
Structure, governance, exit rights, and deadlock resolution for partnerships that need to survive personnel changes.
Executive employment agreements, equity incentive plans, restrictive covenants, and separation agreements.
Wind-downs and dissolutions structured to protect owners from residual liability and post-closing tax exposure.

Common questions
LLC or S-corp?+
Depends on payroll strategy, projected profitability, ownership plans, and whether outside investment is on the horizon. There is no default — we run the analysis before we file.
Do we really need a shareholder or operating agreement?+
Yes, and specifically before the first disagreement. The cost of writing one at formation is a fraction of the cost of litigating without one.
Can you handle both sides of an M&A transaction in-house?+
For most middle-market deals, yes — transactional, tax, employment, real estate, and post-closing dispute work all sit within the firm.
Who reviews commercial contracts on an ongoing basis?+
We work either on a matter basis or through structured outside-counsel arrangements that give companies predictable access without an in-house hire.
