Providing Skilled Representation for All Professional Practices
We provide business formation services to professionals throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We can help set up all types of professional practices, including:
- Medical practices

It is absolutely critical for any new business or acquisition to secure the proper means of financing. Our lawyer has developed close relationships with banks and financial institutions over the decades, and we have extensive experience in the acquisition of capital on the behalf of fledgling businesses.
Limiting Your Personal Liability
If you choose to start a practice without establishing a type of business entity, you will be personally liable for all of the debts associated with your practice, including contracts entered into with various vendors as well as any real property and equipment leases. This approach can end a business before it’s even started and lead to personal financial ruin.
A better approach is to incorporate a professional practice. This means that shareholders of the corporation, including yourself, will not be held personally liable for the bulk of the corporation’s debts. There are a number of different entities available that one may incorporate under, such as a limited liability company (LLC) or a limited liability partnership (LLP). Each entity has its own benefits and tax implications. We can help review your business plans and explore the options that will help you best meet your goals.
