A corporation is a formal way to organize your business to gain rights and privileges, and to limit your personal liability. There may be tax and financial advantages to incorporation. There are many legal consequences to incorporation and I can assist you in selecting the correct entity type and instruct you on best practices of usage.

A lawyer that knows the law and care about his clients.

My company has been using Mr. Onglingswan, for over a decade. Over the years Mr. Onglingswan has successfully represented my company in a wide variety of real estate transactions. Always representing my company in a ethical and moral manner with a witty sense of humor. If you are looking for ...a lawyer who is ethical and responsive and above all gets the job done look no further and go with him, you will not be disappointed. - Cheni

Highly recommended; one great experience after another

I hired Alastair to create client contracts for my company a few years ago. He made the process absolutely seamless by listening to exactly what I needed, creating a draft for me to review and edit and finalizing the project quickly and thoroughly. He answered all of my questions (there were many!) a...nd walked me through every detail which was a huge relief for someone with zero business law knowledge. I've gone back to him many times since then and have no plans to stop any time soon. He's super smart, efficient, quick, and personable; I really can't recommend him enough.

Terrific attorney, very smart

Alastair has represented me several times and is a very sharp attorney who sees all the angles. I highly recommend him.

Posted by Marina | November 17, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

I strongly recommend AlastairOnglingswan as your next legal counsel.

I have known and worked with Alistair for over 10 years and he was my ad-hock legal counsel on many occasions. He recently he advised me on my employment contracts - he was able to negotiate a most favorable employment contract, despite the strong resistance of the Foundation President. He has conseq...uently assisted the Foundation with multiple business/legal matters of the Non-Profit entity I was running for three years. Alastair is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, up-to-date with ever-changing legal practice and always looks for the optimal/best interests of his client. Currently, Alastair is working with me on setting up my new business entity and I will continue to retain his services for years to come. I strongly recommend Alastair Ong as your legal counsel.
