Corporate & Business Law
Day-to-day legal counsel for privately held companies and the people who run them.
Most of what a business needs from a lawyer is not a lawsuit or a landmark deal. It is the steady work of getting agreements right, keeping the entity in good order, and making decisions with a clear view of the legal and tax consequences. KPLAN Law Group serves as outside general counsel to closely held companies in San Diego and beyond, from early-stage ventures to established family enterprises.
Because our founder practices as both an attorney and a CPA, commercial questions are answered with the tax answer attached. A distribution, a bonus plan, a lease, a related-party loan: each has a legal form and a tax result, and we address both at once rather than sending you to two advisors who have never spoken to each other.
We work alongside the CPAs at our affiliated firm, KYJ, LLP, so that the counsel you receive is consistent with how your books are kept and how your returns are filed.
