Starting a business is exciting — but without proper legal structure, your personal assets are at risk. Attorney Scott Cerio helps entrepreneurs and small business owners in Central New York form LLCs and corporations that provide liability protection and set their businesses up for success.
New York LLC formation involves specific legal requirements: filing articles of organization with the Department of State, publishing notice in two local newspapers, filing a Certificate of Publication, and drafting an operating agreement. Missing any step can jeopardize your LLC's legal standing.
Attorney Cerio handles the entire formation process from start to finish, ensuring compliance with all New York State requirements. He also advises on business structure, helping you choose between LLC, corporation, and partnership based on your specific goals and tax situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to form an LLC in New York?
Filing the Articles of Organization with the NY Department of State takes approximately 1-2 weeks for standard processing. However, the full publication requirement — publishing in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks — adds several weeks. The complete process typically takes 2-3 months. Attorney Cerio handles every step.
Do I need an operating agreement for my LLC?
Yes. New York State requires every LLC to have a written operating agreement. Even single-member LLCs must have one. The operating agreement defines ownership structure, member responsibilities, profit distribution, and what happens if a member leaves. Attorney Cerio drafts operating agreements tailored to your business.
