Brad Smith • July 22, 2021

In today’s business climate, all business owners can benefit from the assistance of an attorney. Lawsuits and other legal complications can arise out of nowhere, and it is important that you and your business are protected.

Examples of Legal Services Often Provided to Businesses Include:

  • Maintaining corporate governance documentation
  • Corporate restructuring
  • Counseling officers and directors on fiduciary duties and strategic considerations
  • Filing and monitoring trademark applications
  • Drafting employment agreements, NDAs and non-competition agreements
  • Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts
  • Employee termination advice and support
  • Lease drafting and negotiation
  • Litigation, arbitration and risk management
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Risk analysis
  • Advice regarding insurance coverage disputes

Having a Lawyer on Your Team Can Provide Benefit in the Event of a Lawsuit

If you are threatened with legal action, it is important to have a lawyer on your team. Working continuously with an attorney proves benefit, as they already know the ins and outs of your business. Even more importantly, a skilled business lawyer will have constructed your business agreements in such a way that you will have an immediate advantage should a legal dispute take place.

Legal Help Ensures That Contracts & Legal Agreements Are Secure

Many business owners don’t understand the importance of thorough contracts until it's too late. As a result, it is common for agreements to be vague or incomplete; thus, demonstrating how clients, contractors, and associates may be able to take advantage. Having a lawyer in your corner can help you avoid these costly issues.

An Experienced Business Lawyer Can Help You Avoid Unexpected Mistakes

Running a business is full of potential legal issues. This proves true for both experienced entrepreneurs and young business owners who are just getting started. A good business lawyer, with specific knowledge of your business, will help you avoid problems that you did not know existed, which can ultimately save you money and stress in the long run.

A Lawyer Can Provide A Referral Should You Need Specialized Assistance

A business lawyer has the ability to help you realize when you need additional help – especially with something that requires specialized assistance. A well-connected business lawyer will be able to quickly refer you to other professionals that can provide the assistance and the guidance that your business needs.
