Alabama is not always known for its ability to modernize, but in the area of business law the state continues to strengthen the protection that it affords to small businesses.
In the last 5 years Alabama has passed laws making it harder for attorneys to file frivolous lawsuits. Subsequently this has decreased the cost of doing business state wide. Alabama also grants significant protection to businesses that are incorporated as LLCs and S-Corps.
One of the most important things that a business owner can do to protect their personal assets is to incorporate their business as an LLC (Limited Liability Corporation). If structured correctly and in accordance with applicable Alabama laws, the LLC can provide significant protections to business owners which could decrease the chance of financial ruin that comes from a lawsuit.
Recently, the deregulators in Montgomery have passed laws which eliminate much of the unnecessary paperwork which used to be required when creating an LLC. Therefore it is essential that if you own a business you work with an attorney who is up to date on all the recent changes in business law in Alabama.
