Mental Health Practitioner Legal Starter (Incorporation and Minute Book)
As New York business attorneys focused on licensed professional practices, our Mental Health Practice Legal Starter package is a flat-fee option designed for New York-licensed mental health clinicians (including licensed clinical social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, creative arts therapists, and licensed psychoanalysts) launching a professional entity - a PLLC, PC, or LLP - to ensure their practice is compliant with state law. Here how it works:
For a flat-fee of $1,750, our New York business formation attorneys will help you select and form the professional entity structure appropriate for your practice, and handle all required filings.
We will prepare professional governing documents aligned with state-specific criteria, ensuring your organization is structured correctly.
We will also assemble a complete corporate minute book, including bylaws, organizational resolutions, registers, and share or membership records.
The flat fee includes related government filing fees and disbursements, except for extra, state-specific filing fees. If a PLLC or LLP is the right fit, note that New York’s newspaper publication requirement is billed separately.
This package is ideal for licensed clinical social workers and other NY-licensed mental health clinicians who looking to form a professional entity.
This package is subject to additional terms and conditions. Pricing is in United States Dollars (USD) subject to applicable taxes (if any). When our firm assists in forming or incorporating a company in a jurisdiction other than New York, our role is limited to coordinating the formation/incorporation process and advising on general corporate structuring and professional considerations relevant to the engagement.
What's Included
Preliminary Name Search
A New York City business formation attorney checks your proposed name against existing businesses to ensure it is available and legally valid. This step helps prevent conflicts and future legal issues.
Governing Documents
We prepare the bylaws, operating agreement, partnership agreement, or other governing documents appropriate to the entity, together with the initial organizational resolutions or written consents.
Formation or Incorporation Filings
As New York incorporation lawyers, we prepare and submit the standard documents to form or incorporate the professional entity in New York.
We assemble the formation documents, organizational resolutions, and shareholder, partner or member register into a clear, organized, digital records book for ongoing corporate governance and compliance.
