Corporate/Commercial

Bousquet Holstein advises businesses throughout the enterprise life cycle with practical, bottom-line-focused counsel. We handle company formation, guiding clients on entity choice - LLCs, corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts, professional entities, and bankruptcy-remote structures - while helping maximize available incentives.

We support daily operations, negotiating complex agreements with customers, suppliers, lenders, investors, regulators, and employees. Our team manages mergers, acquisitions, commercial lending, secured transactions, and private placements, backed by extensive deal experience.

Our practice is highly tax-focused, providing planning and analysis for reorganizations, ownership transitions, audits, and investigations, working closely with accountants.

We advise on business transitions, including family successions, employee buyouts, and third-party sales, delivering strategy, tax planning, and documentation. We also design executive and deferred compensation programs, including incentive plans, deferred compensation, ESOPs, and severance or change-in-control agreements.
