Legal Support for Business Reorganization in the U.S.
Business reorganization in the U.S. is a process that involves ownership transfer, corporate restructuring, or asset and license transfers. This procedure requires strict compliance with federal and local regulations, particularly when changing business types (e.g., from LLC to Corporation) or transferring ownership.
