FAQs About LLC Lawyers

What Can An LLC Lawyer Help You With?

An Limited Liability Company (LLC) lawyer is a professional that assists businesses during formation, mergers, and acquisitions. They provide services for LLC filings and maintenance and are often consulted to help businesses decide whether or not an LLC is right for them based on their long-term goals.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire An LLC Formation Attorney In The U.S.?

The cost of an LLC attorney depends on several factors, including your location, how complex your business is, and the number of members that will be in your LLC. Lawyers in this area of specialization typically charge around $100 to $300 an hour to assist with LLC set-up, for an approximate total cost of $1,000 to $3,000.

What Does LLC Stand For In Law?

LLC stands for Limited Liability Company. It’s a business structure designed to prevent members from being held personally liable for debts and lawsuits incurred by a company. Since LLCs are not taxable, it’s considered a “pass-through” entity, meaning that while losses and profits are filed on personal income tax returns, owners can’t be held liable on an individual basis for anything the business owes.

Is An LLC A Good Idea?

To figure out whether an LLC is suitable for your company, it’s best to consult an LLC formation attorney. Generally, LLCs work well for small businesses since they offer tax benefits and require minimal recordkeeping.

Do I Need A Lawyer To Start An LLC?

While you don’t technically need to hire an LLC lawyer to form an LLC, it makes the process much easier. A lawyer will guide you through the process of filing important documents (like an Articles of Organization with your state), ensure all records are error-free and properly maintained, and provide ongoing legal advice.
