Karasik Law Group

Corporate and Business Lawyer in Brooklyn, NYC

Formation, contracts, and transactions for small and mid-size businesses, from one attorney who stays with your company.

Brooklyn business owners meeting with a corporate attorney

Most small and mid-size businesses in Brooklyn cannot justify a full-time in-house attorney, but they still face the legal work that a growing company runs into every month. A contract to draft before a deal closes. An entity to set up the right way. A partner buying in or a vendor failing to deliver. Karasik Law Group, P.C. handles that work for corporations and sole proprietorships as an outside attorney, so you get legal coverage for everyday transactions and the occasional crisis without carrying the cost of a staff lawyer. Alexander Karasik, Esq. works directly with business owners on formation, contracts, and the transactions that move a company forward. Call (929) 444-4444 to talk through what your business needs.

Business Formation in Brooklyn: Corporations, LLCs, and Partnerships

The entity you choose shapes how you are taxed, who is personally on the hook for the company's debts, and how you bring in partners or investors later. Karasik Law Group, P.C. handles formation for corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships, and sets up the governing documents that decide how the business actually runs day to day. For founders raising money or planning to add owners, the operating agreement, shareholder agreement, and stock option plan written at the start are what prevent the disputes that surface years down the line.

Formation and governance work the firm handles includes:

  • Launching a new business and choosing the entity type
  • Formation of corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships
  • Non-profit and 501(c)(3) formation
  • Operating agreements and shareholder agreements
  • Stock option plans
  • Joint venture agreements and investment agreements
  • Officer and director elections and related governance issues
  • Day-to-day business operations counsel

Business Contracts in Brooklyn: Drafting, Negotiating, and Enforcement

A contract is only worth what it protects when the other side does not perform. Karasik Law Group, P.C. drafts and negotiates the agreements your business signs, and reads the ones put in front of you, so the terms hold up if a deal goes sideways. That work runs from the everyday agreements that keep operations moving to the documents that guard what your company owns, including its employees, its confidential information, and its intellectual property. When a counterparty breaches, the firm pursues enforcement of the contract rather than letting the obligation lapse.

Contract work the firm handles includes:

  • Contract drafting, negotiating, and enforcement
  • Employee agreements and independent contractor agreements
  • Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)
  • Employment compliance
  • Intellectual property rights management and licensing
  • Technology and e-commerce agreements and product development
  • General business transactions and international transactions
  • Risk analysis to identify potential liability concerns before you sign

The firm runs the due diligence, drafts the letters of intent and acquisition agreements, and addresses the tax, payment, and liquidity questions a deal raises before they become problems at closing.

A Brooklyn Business Attorney as a Cost-Effective Alternative to In-House Counsel

Many Brooklyn businesses sit in an awkward spot: too big to handle their own legal work, too small to keep a full-time attorney on payroll. Karasik Law Group, P.C. fills that gap as outside counsel. You call when a contract needs review, a vendor stops paying, an investor wants in, or a deal needs structuring, and you work directly with Alexander Karasik, Esq. rather than a rotating bench of associates. For both corporations and sole proprietorships, that means legal coverage for the everyday transactions and the rare crisis, scaled to what your business actually needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a corporate and business lawyer in Brooklyn actually do for a small company?

For a small or mid-size company, a business lawyer handles the legal work that comes with running and growing the business: choosing and forming the right entity, drafting and negotiating contracts, protecting intellectual property and confidential information, and structuring transactions like sales, purchases, and financing. Karasik Law Group, P.C. does this for corporations and sole proprietorships as outside counsel, so you get that coverage without hiring a full-time staff attorney.

Which business entity should I form, an LLC or a corporation?

The right entity depends on how you want to be taxed, how much personal liability protection you need, and whether you plan to bring in partners or raise outside money. An LLC and a corporation handle ownership, governance, and taxes differently, and the choice affects your operating or shareholder agreement, your ability to issue stock or options, and how you add owners later.
