In order to
provide comprehensive solutions to business issues,
and to assist both individual and corporate clients
in developing long-term strategic plans, Jones Bell
offers professional counseling and representation
in a wide variety of business transactions. These
services begin with the creation of business entities
such as limited liability companies, partnerships,
and corporations. Jones Bell then offers the experience
and guidance that allows businesses to mature and
grow through financing, mergers and acquisitions,
and the structuring of new ventures. That guidance
extends throughout the life of the business, including
assistance with corporate reorganizations, and corporate
dissolutions.
The daily needs
of clients are further addressed through advice concerning
taxation, ERISA, contract drafting, and
related
representation before such wide ranging tribunals
as the U.S. Tax Court and the State Board of Equalization.
Jones Bell also offers sophisticated advice concerning
deferred compensation, executive compensation, and
diverse types of employee benefit plans, including
incentive stock options, non-qualified options, phantom
stock and SAR Plans, non-qualified deferred compensation
arrangements, and leveraged ESOP transactions.
