Corporate Governance and Compliance

Every business in the United States is subject to a variety of federal, state, and local laws.  Companies have to comply with the laws that govern them and the internal guidelines they set in their own governing documents (like Bylaws, Operating Agreements, and Articles of Incorporation).  The people that run those companies are responsible for following all of the rules.  That can become challenging, especially where the rules are confusing or poorly drafted, and multiple stakeholders have differing opinions about what the company should do.  Melton Legal Services can draft governing documents that help you make good decisions during difficult times.  MLS can also advise you about how to comply in “gray areas” and help you resolve disputes when you cannot reach an agreement on your own.  A proactive approach to compliance and corporate governance is more effective and less costly than a reactive approach.  The earlier you contact MLS to improve your company’s practices, the better chance you have to avoid costly violations and internal strife.
