“Corporate and Partnership Law,” part one, offers advice on the basics of forming a business for a client.

This section also examines considerations relative to the different forms of doing business, including domestic and foreign corporations and limited liability companies.

Part three addresses important questions to consider when advising a client on forming a corporation: What is the desirable tax treatment to the client? Is deferral of gain or loss on the exchange feasible? What are the consequences of the client's deferring to a later year the reporting of gain or loss realized by the client on the exchange?

Part four addresses Banking Law, including different types of accounts and the various circumstances such as death, incompetency or disability that affect daily banking transactions.
