Duncan, Holland & Fleenor assists its business clients in the formation of new business entities such as limited liability companies and corporations. We provide representation regarding the management of corporate affairs, including documentation of resolutions, minutes, and other corporate activities, and we provide legal advice and guidance concerning operating agreements, shareholder agreements, and buy/sell agreements.

Corporate law is, at its best, practiced outside the courtroom. In general, corporate law deals with proper documentation and legal compliance. Our clients need to know how state and federal laws and regulations relate to their business.

One of the most important concepts of moderate corporate law is the legal rule that corporations and LLCs, if properly formed and managed, are treated separately in the legal system from their constituent parts. Corporations and LLCs can be sued without that suit extending to their shareholders and members. In the same way, shareholders and members are legally limited in their liability relating solely to business of the corporation or LLC. For example, if a corporation goes bankrupt, that does not mean its shareholders or member must necessarily be part of it.
