Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What type of business entity should I form in California?

The right entity depends on your business goals, liability concerns, tax situation, and number of owners. Common options include LLCs (flexible, pass-through taxation), corporations (better for raising investment), S-corps (tax advantages for smaller businesses), and partnerships. At Landon Law in Temecula, we help business owners evaluate these options and choose the structure that best protects their interests.

While not legally required, having an attorney review contracts before you sign can prevent costly disputes. Many business owners learn this lesson the hard way when a poorly drafted contract leads to litigation. Brad Landon has nearly 30 years of experience drafting and negotiating contracts for businesses of all sizes in Temecula and throughout Southern California.

Start by gathering all relevant documents — contracts, correspondence, invoices, and records of the dispute. Before filing a lawsuit, consider whether the issue can be resolved through negotiation, a demand letter, mediation, or arbitration. These alternatives are often faster, less expensive, and less disruptive to your business than litigation.

A general counsel attorney serves as your business’s ongoing legal advisor, handling day-to-day legal matters such as contract review, employment issues, compliance, risk management, and dispute prevention. Rather than hiring in-house counsel, many small and mid-sized businesses in Temecula retain Landon Law to serve as their outside general counsel at a fraction of the cost.

Key strategies include choosing the right business entity (LLC or corporation) to separate personal and business liability, maintaining proper corporate formalities, using well-drafted contracts, carrying adequate insurance, and implementing clear employment policies. Proactive legal counsel helps identify and address risks before they become lawsuits.
