About PrivateCounsel
Designed for Business Owners Who Need Straight Answers
PrivateCounsel is a legal platform that helps LLCs and corporations move from one state to another. We compare both states’ rules to confirm what’s allowed, then handle the move end to end to prevent legal gaps, compliance problems, and unnecessary tax exposure.
Our goal is simple: make this process clear, fast, and stress-free. No unnecessary upsells. No surprises.
