7 Reasons to Hire An Attorney for Your Business
2
1. Protect Against Lawsuits
  • You can well imagine, having a lawyer can help
    prevent lawsuits. In reality, if youre hiring an
    attorney after youve already been sued, its
    probably too late.
  • A good lawyer can help reduce the charges, but
    they cant protect you from them entirely. Be
    proactive before a lawsuit occurs, get your
    legalities in order, and cover all of your bases.

2. Mitigate Damages
  • Your business attorney can also help to solve all
    the legal issues where you cant protect
    yourself.
  • In order for them to get the best result,
    however, its important that you tell the truth.
    If you want an honest lawyer, you must be an
    honest client. Even if the employee was hurt
    because of something you did, its better for
    your lawyer to learn about it from you, rather
    than the opposing sides attorney.

3. Contract Drafting
  • Well, If you need to negotiate a contract -
    whether with a customer, employee, or supplier -
    its important that you have a lawyer present to
    help with any legalities. A contract that hasnt
    been approved by a lawyer can quickly cause
    problems.
  • Its your job to run a business, not memorize the
    rules - and if you try to do the contract
    yourself, youll likely miss a few things that
    could get you in big trouble down the road.

4. Business Incorporation
  • Incorporating your business involves more than
    simply handing over a check and receiving a
    certificate. You need someone on your side thats
    familiar with the process and can get you through
    it without any legal implications.
  • Youre likely not familiar with all the
    legalities that must be sifted through when
    incorporating a business, but a good business
    lawyer will know exactly what to do.

5. State and Federal Compliance
  • Youre probably familiar with the fact that state
    and federal laws are different and have their own
    procedures to follow. When you incorporate a
    business, perform business dealings across state
    lines, take your business overseas, build
    property, and pay your taxes, there are certain
    rules and regulations you must observe.
  • Even if youre a wiz at research, as a small
    business owner, theres no way you have the time
    to sift through all of these laws to ensure that
    youre complying adequately with each one.

6. Employee Issues
  • It's common thing to facing employee-related
    issues. Here, Your attorney can help you for,
    those issues are quickly diminished, since they
    can facilitate the hiring process, administer
    workers compensation, draft up agreements for
    independent contractors, and help you safely fire
    employees without legal repercussions.
  • The last thing you want on your hands is a
    lawsuit from an employee, and having an attorney
    on retainer, whether thats a business lawyer or
    a personal injury lawyer, can significantly
    reduce that risk for your business.

7. Filing for a Patent
  • If youve developed a new product or service,
    its important that you file for a patent.
    However, patents are time consuming and
    expensive, especially if you go about the process
    yourself.
  • Furthermore, theyre often difficult to get
    approved in a reasonable amount of time without
    the help of an attorney. Fortunately, an
    experienced patent attorney can help you get your
    patent in a timely manner.
