Functions of a Business Lawyer
Business attorneys, to put it simply, help businesses solve their problems. They help business owners understand the problem. They also help the owners identify problems they may face in the future.
Common problems faced by business owners:
- Starting a business: It can be difficult to choose between an S Corp, LLC, or some other form of business. A wrong decision in this case can incur incredible costs in the long run.
- Drawing contracts: Businesses may not be aware of the type of forms they need when bringing in a new client or hiring employees. Do you know if you need to sign a waiver? What exactly should you mention in the forms? Business lawyers can create contracts for meeting the unique needs of a business.
- Breach of contract or disputed contract: What do you do when a client refuses to pay or a contract gets disputed? Can you take any action if an employee is caught sharing secrets? Your business attorney will advocate and negotiate on your behalf. They may even file a lawsuit if required.
- Acquisitions and mergers: Are you thinking of being acquired by a company or buying out a competitor? Do you want to join forces with another business? A business lawyer is integral to these decisions.
- Resolving business claims and issues: The most well-meaning and prepared business owner can run into trouble regarding sick leave, disability, sexual harassment, discrimination, and workplace safety. Business lawyers educate clients on best practices and applicable laws.
- Risk management and compliance: Experienced business lawyers can help new and established businesses on compliance issues by developing a system for monitoring and minimizing risk
- Property and real estate disputes: You may need the assistance of a business lawyer whether your business owns or leases a property. Business lawyers can negotiate leases and sales by navigating confusing and complex real estate laws.
Business Lawyers and Litigation
Business lawyers go to court when it is absolutely necessary. This is not because they are not expert litigators, but because they often think of a better solution to help save their clients time and money.
Consulting with a Business Lawyer
This should be done sooner than later since even the simplest, most trivial, and honest mistakes can cost business owners dearly. Quick consultations with business owners can usually prevent these problems. A business owner’s time is better spent running the business than trying to resolve legal disputes.
