Salt Lake City business attorney

A lot of Salt Lake companies are one owner, a leased space, and a contract that showed up from a bigger customer. You don’t need a floor of associates for that. You need someone who will read the contract and tell you what it actually says.

The consult can be on video if you’re in a shop downtown or on the east bench. Signing is at the North Salt Lake office. There’s free parking. You don’t circle a garage.

I don’t compare my fee to a downtown firm’s hourly rate on this page. I don’t have their invoices. What I will say is that I quote a flat fee before I draft, and I don’t run an hourly meter while we talk.

The work is the same practice I keep at the office. The facts are city facts. A lease downtown. A customer on the west side. A partner who moved to Arizona and still owns half.

• Start the company. A straightforward LLC has a published price, state filing fee included. If you hold a professional license, we check whether you need a PLLC before we file a regular LLC.
• Write the rules. Who owns it, who signs, and what happens if someone dies or leaves. The template that came with the online filing usually skips that.
• Read the contract. Vendor, customer, services, and contractor agreements. I draft them or I review the one the other side sent.
• Sell it, or let a partner out. Only when the people who have to sign are willing to sign.

An operating agreement that says what a buyout costs. A contract that says how someone cancels. A dissolution that is finished instead of abandoned. That’s the work.

If you also own a house in the city, the estate plan is a separate page. The company and the trust still have to agree with each other. I do both, in one office, so the membership interest isn’t a surprise to the people you named.

I’m licensed in Utah, Arizona, and Texas. A Salt Lake company that hires in Arizona, or an owner who still has the old Texas entity, doesn’t need a second lawyer for those states.

If the company was formed somewhere else and it is doing business in Utah, it needs a Utah registration under Utah Code § 16-1a-503. That’s been the section since the entity statutes moved into Title 16 on October 1, 2026. I file that. I don’t file in states where I’m not licensed.

The flat fee is quoted after a thirty-minute consult. LLC formation is the only business price on the pricing page. Bring the contract or the ownership list and I’ll tell you which file you have.
