Corporate Compliance Attorney — Minute Books, Annual Filings and Policies for Growing Companies

Growing companies are busy. Unfortunately, routine legal housekeeping is often the first thing to slip. A corporate compliance attorney keeps your company in good standing, so a missed filing never becomes a crisis.

Compliance protects you in concrete ways. For example, a company that loses good standing may be unable to sue or close a deal. Similarly, poor corporate records can weaken liability protection. Therefore, steady compliance is an inexpensive form of insurance.

This guide covers annual filings, corporate records, board actions and regulatory policies.

Annual reports and good standing

Most states require LLCs and corporations to file annual or biennial reports and pay fees. Missing them can lead to penalties and, eventually, administrative dissolution.

Our Annual Report Filing service tracks and files reports for a fixed fee. In addition, if you operate in several states, each state may require its own filings. Our foreign qualification service registers your company where needed.

Minute books and corporate records

Corporations should hold annual meetings and record minutes. LLCs have fewer formalities, but good records still help. Consequently, a well-kept minute book supports liability protection and makes due diligence easier.

Our corporate minute book management service maintains records annually. Furthermore, our annual meeting minutes service documents the meeting properly.

Board resolutions

Major decisions should be approved by resolution. Examples include opening bank accounts, approving loans, issuing shares and signing major contracts. Our board resolution service drafts these quickly.

Regulatory compliance policies

Many industries face specific rules. For instance, healthcare businesses handling patient information must comply with HIPAA. Similarly, employers must follow OSHA workplace safety requirements.

Written policies show regulators you take compliance seriously. Our HIPAA compliance packet and OSHA compliance documentation services prepare the core documents. Moreover, our compliance policy service drafts custom policies for other areas.

Compliance and risk management

Good compliance also reduces criminal and civil risk. Prosecutors consider compliance programs when deciding how to treat a company. As a result, documented policies and training matter.

If your company faces an investigation, read our guide to white collar fraud defense. For employment issues, see our guide to employment discrimination defense for employers.
