Building a business takes vision, effort, and persistence. Behind every successful operation is a legal foundation that supports growth, clarifies relationships, and prepares for change over time. Thoughtful legal planning helps business owners make informed decisions and move forward with greater confidence.

A strong business starts with a clear legal foundation. Legal planning helps define structure, document relationships, and prepare for change.

Operating a business involves ongoing legal decisions related to structure, contracts, and ownership. Thoughtful legal planning helps business owners understand their obligations, document relationships, and prepare for change over time.

Xanh Law PC provides legal services focused on business formation, contracts, ownership planning, and related matters under California law. Our role is to help clients understand available legal options and prepare documents appropriate to their specific circumstances.

Business Formation & Entity Structuring

Laying a legally sound foundation for how your business operates.

Selecting and forming a business entity is a legal decision that can have long-term implications. Depending on the circumstances, we assist with:

  • Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)

  • Corporations formed under California law

  • Ownership structuring for single-owner and multi-owner businesses

  • Operating agreements, bylaws, and related governance documents

Entity formation involves legal, tax, and operational considerations. Xanh Law PC does not provide tax advice, and clients should consult with their own qualified tax professionals regarding tax classification, elections, and consequences.

Clear agreements that help define expectations and responsibilities.

Contracts & Agreements

Written agreements play an important role in setting expectations and reducing misunderstandings. We assist with drafting and reviewing agreements such as:

  • Service and client agreements

  • Independent contractor agreements

  • Vendor and supplier agreements

  • Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)

  • Partnership and internal ownership agreements

Contract needs depend on the nature of the business and its operations. Not every business requires the same set of agreements.

Planning for ownership changes before they become urgent.

Business Ownership Changes & Buy-Sell Planning

Ownership changes may occur due to retirement, disability, death, disputes, or business growth. We assist with legal planning related to:

  • Adding or removing owners

  • Ownership transfers and internal restructuring

  • Buy-sell agreements and transition provisions

  • Coordination of ownership planning with estate planning goals

Advance planning can help clarify procedures and responsibilities when changes occur, though outcomes depend on individual circumstances.

Aligning business documents with personal planning goals.

Ongoing Legal Support

As businesses grow and change, legal questions often arise. We provide ongoing legal support for matters such as:

  • Contract review and revisions

  • Identifying potential legal issues before agreements are signed

  • Updating documents as ownership or operations evolve

Our goal is to serve as a practical legal resource within the scope of our representation.

Coordination with Estate Planning

For many business owners, personal estate planning and business planning overlap. We assist in coordinating business ownership documents with estate planning documents prepared under California law so that ownership interests are addressed consistently.

This coordination is often relevant for closely held and family-owned businesses.

Practical legal guidance as your business evolves.
