Why Structure Matters

Choosing an entity isn’t just about filing paperwork. It’s about making strategic decisions that affect ownership, tax treatment, governance, liability, and long-term flexibility. I work closely with clients to ensure those decisions align with their goals — whether they’re launching a single-purpose vehicle or building a platform meant to grow across multiple ventures.

When you work with Atrivus, you get:

  • Strategic Guidance: Clear recommendations tailored to your industry, growth plan, and business objectives.

  • Future-Proof Structuring: Flexible legal frameworks that anticipate future funding rounds, ownership changes, or exits.

  • Investor-Ready Documentation: Clean, professional governance documents that withstand due diligence.

  • Business-Minded Advice: Legal guidance grounded in how companies actually operate — not just what the law requires.

Formation & Structuring Services

I provide comprehensive support at every stage of entity creation and corporate structuring, including:

  • Entity Selection & Formation – Guidance on whether to form an LLC, corporation, partnership, or hybrid structure, and preparation of formation documents with state and regulatory filings.

  • Operating & Governance Documents – Drafting tailored operating agreements, shareholder agreements, bylaws, partnership agreements, and governance policies.

  • Ownership & Equity Structuring – Designing capitalization tables, profit interests, vesting schedules, and equity allocation strategies that support your long-term goals.

  • Multi-Entity & Layered Structures – Coordinating parent companies, management entities, joint ventures, and holding companies for complex business or investment platforms.

  • Reorganization & Conversion – Advising on restructurings, mergers, conversions, and ownership transitions as your company evolves.

Who I Work With

Atrivus regularly supports clients across the business lifecycle, including:

  • Entrepreneurs and founders launching new companies

  • Investment sponsors forming management and project entities

  • Real estate developers creating joint ventures or holding companies

  • Family-owned and closely held businesses planning for succession

My Approach

I take a hands-on, business-first approach to formation work. Rather than simply providing boilerplate documents, I aim to understand your business model, risk profile, growth plans, and investor strategy — then structure your company accordingly.

My goal is to set you up for success from day one, while building in the flexibility you’ll need as your business scales and evolves.
