At Rothamel Bratton, our professionals can guide you through the entire lifespan of a business. We begin with advising on corporate form and financing structure, through the addition of new members or representation of the business in disputes, and finally to either a sale, merger, or planning succession by the next generation. Rothamel Bratton’s expertise in Corporate Taxation ensures that your business will pay only the taxes required by law. Smaller businesses never want to pay more than need be, where every dollar is important. The more sophisticated business will realize maximal efficiency and profitability by utilizing more aggressive, but legally sound planning techniques.

The Rothamel Bratton team knows how starting a small business can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Our professionals seek to minimize the latter by guiding you through the process. Whether we are helping a single entrepreneur choose an appropriate corporate form or negotiating the details of co-ownership with other parties, we keep an eye out for the future of our clients and their continued success. Starting a business is an inherently risky endeavor, and starting out with your best foot forward is paramount.  Rothamel Bratton prides itself in offering that degree of insurance.

Another inherent business reality is exposure to liability–protection of the owners from liability is the reason the corporate form is adopted in the first place. Relationships between owners also can go awry. While your business may have exceptional internal structure, peoples’ actions can never be predicted. Rothamel Bratton excels in the resolution of disputes that may arise in the course of business. The professionals with Rothamel Bratton have extensive experience litigating matters on behalf of sophisticated corporate clients, from bringing suit on behalf of aggrieved owners to defending businesses from claims brought against them.

Finally, our team handles all various forms of corporate dispositions. Whether it be an outright sale of the business, merger, business divorce, or passing the business on to the next generation, we at Rothamel Bratton offer assurance that it is done properly and in the best interests of our clients.
