The first legal step is choosing your business structure (like an LLC) and registering your business name. We highly recommend a consultation to discuss which entity best protects your personal assets before you file any paperwork.
A business lawyer can review your commercial lease to identify unfavorable terms, negotiate for better conditions (like rent abatement or tenant improvement allowances), and ensure the agreement complies with all local zoning and property laws, protecting you from future liabilities.
While not legally required to file, an operating agreement is crucial. It governs how your LLC is run, how profits are distributed, and how disputes are handled. A lawyer-drafted agreement is customized to prevent conflicts and protect all members’ interests.
Common pitfalls include misclassifying employees as independent contractors, failing to obtain the correct city permits (especially for hospitality), and using generic online contract templates that aren’t enforceable in Louisiana courts.
