I’ve written about Simmons Jannace & Stagg in the past.  From everything I’ve read, they’re a great law firm for both large and small firms.  But in a recent press release, I learned that in addition to litigation, Simmons Jannace & Stagg also handles financing transactions such as structuring a variety of loans (including real estate, construction, and asset-based loans), asset securitizations, stock purchase sale and leaseback transactions. But what really caught my eye was that their firm provides guidance in choosing a business form, such as organizing corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and other legal entities throughout the U.S.  I’ve never really examined whether my business is set up in a way that’s most advantageous to me — as a sole proprietor who doesn’t lay claim to the content she creates, I’ve never had to worry about the legalities of working with companies.  As long as I’m registered and pay my taxes, I figured that was good enough.  But their are a host of advantages to doing things th right way (versus the quick and easy way I chose), so it may be time to re-investigate the structure of my business.  Simmons Jannace & Stagg doesn’t have offices in Chicago, though, so I guess it’s the yellow pages for me . . .
