At Tillson Law P.C., we help business owners in Sandy and surrounding Mt. Hood communities with business planning, legal structure selection, and long-term strategies that help protect their companies and make them easier to manage over time.
For many clients, a business is closely tied to personal finances and family security. Planning helps keep those areas clearly defined and better protected.

Why Planning Matters
Even well-run businesses face challenges. Disputes, liability concerns, or financial pressure can come up, and without proper planning, those issues can affect more than just the business.
A clear plan helps:
- Keep business and personal assets separate
- Reduce unnecessary risk
- Provide stability for owners and their families
- Prepare for future changes or transitions
Insurance plays a role, but it works best alongside clear legal planning.
Common Issues We See
Business owners in this area often run into:
- Contract or vendor disputes
- Employee-related concerns
- Liability tied to day-to-day operations
- Debt or lease obligations
- Mixing personal and business finances
Addressing these early can prevent larger issues later.

What This Planning Typically Includes
Depending on your situation, business planning may include:
- Choosing the right business structure
- Preparing operating or ownership agreements
- Creating buy-sell agreements where needed
- Coordinating business planning with estate planning
The goal is to make sure everything is set up clearly and works the way it should.
Family-Owned Businesses
When a business involves family, planning becomes even more important.
We help clients think through:
- Ownership and decision-making
- Transition or succession planning
- Preparing the next generation
- Reducing the risk of conflict
- Keeping the business within the family when appropriate
