A successful business is built on a strong legal and financial foundation.  DGS offers the legal services an entrepreneur needs to form a new business, build an executive team and raise capital.  We help clients consider tax alternatives, organize corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies, draft stockholders’ and voting agreements, establish employment relationships, issue founders’ stock and set up employee equity plans. We also advise the new company on how to use appropriate nondisclosure and license agreements to protect its intellectual property.  In addition to forming more traditional companies, the asset management group forms investment advisers, hedge and mutual funds and broker-dealers.
