Mr. Cisar has been licensed in the state of Illinois and has been practicing law since 2012 with a focus on business formation, contracts and taxation.
Properly structuring companies during their formation or prior to a major company event can limit tax liabilities and protect the founders' ownership interests. Cisar has shown diligence in ensuring business owners understand the options available to them for future events. Cisar possesses over a decade of experience with business formation documents, articles of organization or incorporation and operating agreements. Cisar is disciplined with all documents ranging from the Joint Venture or Partnership Agreements to the Equity Incentive or Buyout documentation.
No company can be complete without contracts holding everything together. Companies in the Cryptocurrency and SaaS field understand all too well how having proper documentation beforehand is critical for ensuring future success. Having in place securities exemptions or SaaS Agreements prevents unnecessary complications with regulators and potential company interruptions. All companies need to remember the only constant in law is change. The creation of GDPR and CCPA are a direct testament to this. Bill has been aiding his clients in maintaining compliance with privacy laws as they change.
Holding a L.L.M. Masters in Law in Taxation from Arizona State University places Cisar in a better position than most to understand the tax implications of Mergers and Acquisitions. Buying or selling a business can have significant tax consequences to the company and its owners depending on how the deal is structured. Planning an exit strategy from the beginning of the company formation is ideal however there are still options available after the fact.
