Business and Corporate Governance

Business and corporate Governance attorneys in Arlington, va

At The Bhatia Law Firm, we provide comprehensive support for business registration and corporate governance, ensuring your company is built on a solid legal foundation and remains compliant as it grows. We start by guiding you through entity selection—whether you’re forming an LLC, corporation, partnership, or another structure—explaining the advantages of each and helping you choose the best fit for your goals, ownership structure, and tax considerations. Our team handles all aspects of business formation, including name clearance, preparation and filing of formation documents, obtaining your federal EIN, and registering with the appropriate state and local agencies. We also draft and customize essential governance documents such as operating agreements, bylaws, and shareholder agreements, tailored to your business’s unique needs.

Once your business is established, we help you implement strong governance practices from the outset. This includes setting up initial organizational resolutions, appointing officers and directors, and creating a compliance calendar to track annual reports, franchise taxes, and other critical deadlines. We provide ongoing counsel for board and owner meetings, draft resolutions and consents for major decisions, and advise on fiduciary duties and conflict-of-interest policies to protect your business and its stakeholders. Our services extend to managing equity and ownership changes, preparing buy-sell agreements, and ensuring your records are always up to date and ready for investor or regulatory review.

We understand that business needs evolve, so we offer proactive support for amendments, reorganizations, and expansions into new jurisdictions, as well as guidance on regulatory compliance and licensing as your operations grow. Our integrated approach means we anticipate how changes in your business may impact other areas, such as real estate transactions or business immigration needs, and coordinate strategies accordingly.

With The Bhatia Law Firm, you receive direct access to experienced counsel, practical recommendations, and proactive reminders—so you can focus on running your business with confidence. We pride ourselves on clear communication, efficient execution, and a commitment to helping you avoid common pitfalls, maintain good standing, and position your company for long-term success. Whether you’re launching a new venture, managing a growing enterprise, or restructuring an existing business, we are your trusted partner for all aspects of business registration and governance.
