Need help with your CTA filing obligations?

Due to the passage of the Corporate Transparency Act, nearly every operator of a business entity formed or registered in the United States now faces the burden and hassle of complying with this potentially complicated law. Entrepreneurs will be faced with another decision requiring them to weigh costs and benefits of hiring professional assistance versus handling the matter themselves. The main downside of using outside assistance is the financial cost. The main downsides of self-filing may be lack of confidence in getting compliance correct and, perhaps most importantly, the expenditure of significant time and effort in learning all of the CTA rules that could be used more productively in other revenue-generating activities.

If you have decided that you would prefer to handle your CTA compliance with the help of a business attorney, James Shafer (the author of this blog) offers his legal services to help you with this matter. James is currently offering relatively modest flat fee rates for initial BOI Report filings for most small businesses. If you respond below, James will get back to you with some basic questions about your company and will then be able to tell you how much he would charge to review your company's situation, determine its beneficial owners and prepare and make an initial BOI Report filing.

Please consider starting this process as soon as possible, as there will likely be a year-end crush in 2024 of tens of millions of companies trying to beat the January 1, 2025 deadline for their initial filing. It is anticipated that fees charged will rise towards the end of the year and James (and other attorneys) may not be able to accommodate all potential clients as the year progresses due to the anticipated surge in business.

While I endeavor to respond to potential client inquiries as soon as possible, there may be times when due to circumstances I will not be able to respond as quickly as I would like. If you have an impending deadline to make a CTA filing and I do not respond to your inquiry within one business day, please make alternative plans and do not assume I will be able to help you meet your deadline. James Shafer will assume no responsibility for assisting any person or company in complying with the CTA until and unless we have entered into a formal written retainer agreement.

Please enter your contact information in the contact form below or send me an email as opposed to making a phone call as a means of first contact. If you do decide to call me, then please also send me an email with your contact info as well as it can be difficult to understand and record contact information in a phone call or voicemail. No attorney-client relationship will exist until such time as we enter into a formal written retainer agreement, so please don't include any sensitive confidential information until then.
