esop Attorney Providing
legal services
Atlas Legal Services helps business owners establish and manage successful Employee Stock Ownership Plans that produce sustainable results throughout the ESOP lifecycle.
An Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP, is an increasingly popular way for business owners to obtain liquidity, minimize their investment, or exit the business without selling it to a third party. Instead, employees of the business become owners, gaining economic incentives in the form of an employee-owned retirement plan along with a sense of ownership that supports productivity and dedication.
Atlas Legal Services provides comprehensive ESOP services to help companies transition to and manage an ESOP through the entire ESOP lifecycle. Our strategic approach minimizes owner risk while maximizing business value and empowering employees. Under guidance from an experienced ESOP attorney, business owners can transition ownership of the company in a way that benefits all stakeholders.
Our ESOP services include:
-
Design & Feasibility
-
Transaction Execution & Financing
-
Ongoing Support & Maintenance
