Business Formation

Starting a business is one of the most significant decisions an entrepreneur or investor can make. At TVV Law, we provide comprehensive legal support to ensure your business is built on a solid legal foundation from day one. Whether you are launching a sole proprietorship, forming a partnership, incorporating a stock corporation, or establishing a limited liability company, our lawyers guide you through every step of the process with clarity and precision.

Our business formation services cover the full spectrum of organizational setup: choosing the right legal structure for your goals, drafting and filing articles of incorporation or partnership agreements, preparing by-laws and organizational documents, registering with the appropriate government agencies, and securing necessary permits and licenses. We also advise on initial equity structuring, stockholder agreements, and founder arrangements to prevent future disputes and protect all parties.

Beyond initial setup, we assist with post-incorporation compliance requirements, including the issuance of shares, maintenance of corporate books, and ongoing reporting obligations. Our team understands that no two businesses are alike, and we tailor our advice to the specific industry, risk profile, and long-term vision of each client.

Sound corporate governance is the cornerstone of a well-run organization. It defines how a company is directed, controlled, and held accountable to its stakeholders — including shareholders, employees, regulators, and the public. TVV Law advises boards of directors, senior management, and shareholders on establishing and maintaining governance frameworks that promote transparency, accountability, and sustainable business performance.

Our corporate governance practice encompasses the full range of board-level and organizational advisory services. We assist in structuring boards of directors and committees, defining roles and responsibilities, drafting governance charters and manuals, and advising on director and officer duties and liabilities. We also counsel on related-party transactions, conflicts of interest, and the protection of minority shareholders’ rights.

For publicly listed companies, we provide guidance on compliance with exchange regulations, disclosure obligations, and shareholder relations. For privately held firms and family-owned businesses, we help design governance structures that professionalize management, manage succession, and reduce the risk of internal conflict.

Litigation & Dispute Resolution

When disputes arise, you need experienced advocates who combine strategic thinking with courtroom tenacity. TVV Law’s litigation and dispute resolution practice represents clients in complex commercial disputes across courts, arbitral tribunals, and regulatory forums. We handle every stage of the dispute process — from initial assessment and pre-litigation strategy through to trial, appeal, and enforcement of judgments.

Our litigators have extensive experience in corporate and commercial disputes, including breach of contract claims, shareholder and partnership disputes, fraud and misrepresentation actions, employment-related litigation, and regulatory enforcement proceedings. We approach every dispute with a clear-eyed assessment of the merits, the risks, and the realistic outcomes — allowing our clients to make informed decisions at every juncture.

We also strongly advocate for alternative dispute resolution (ADR) where appropriate.
