Greater Binghamton & the Southern Tier
Business attorney for Binghamton and the Southern Tier
Auxo Law represents business owners across Greater Binghamton, Broome County, and the Southern Tier of New York—forming companies, documenting ownership, negotiating contracts, and buying and selling businesses. You work directly with attorney Chris Tzortzis, who is licensed in New York.
Who I work with
Most clients are owners of privately held, Main Street and lower-middle-market businesses: founders starting their first company, partners formalizing how they share ownership, buyers acquiring an established business, and owners preparing for retirement or a sale. Typical needs include:
- forming an LLC or corporation and drafting an operating or shareholder agreement;
- reviewing a letter of intent before you sign it;
- legal due diligence on a business you plan to buy;
- drafting and negotiating an asset or stock purchase agreement;
- buying out a partner or admitting a new owner; and
- ongoing contract review and general business questions.
Starting a business in New York: what's different?
New York has requirements many new owners don't expect. For example, a newly formed New York LLC must publish notice of its formation in two newspapers designated by the county clerk where its office is located and file a Certificate of Publication with the Department of State within 120 days of formation (N.Y. Limited Liability Company Law § 206). Missing that deadline can suspend the LLC's authority to do business. See the Department of State's guidance on LLC publication.

Buying or selling a Southern Tier business
When a business changes hands, the letter of intent sets the economics and structure for everything that follows. I help buyers and sellers negotiate the LOI, run or respond to due diligence, coordinate with brokers, CPAs, and SBA lenders, and draft the purchase agreement and closing documents.
