Corporate Filings

All corporate entities have various state and federal filings that must be completed pursuant to a specific timetable. For example, California corporations must file an annual Statement of Information. If you file this document even one day late, there is a $250 penalty. It is important to track these various deadlines, and make sure the filings are accurate and timely. The California Secretary of State, as well as other government agencies regularly reject filings due to name issues, omissions, misstatements, errors, or other problems with the proposed filings that are submitted to the office. If the government rejects your filing, it is considered invalid and penalties attach. To avoid this risk, we recommend you hire a professional attorney to assist you in filing documents so you can make sure that they are correctly completed and submitted on time.
