Outside Legal Counsel for Your Business
Many startups and small businesses have unanswered legal questions and unfilled legal needs, simply because it is not worth the time or expense to find an attorney in each area where a problem arises.
Business owners have so much to do, and legal services may not be in the start-up budget. When starting out, many small businesses understandably incorporate themselves, use internet contracts, and just hope that their lease means what they think it does.
Startups & small businesses usually need a review of their contracts and procedures to ensure they are not exposing themselves to unnecessary and expensive liability. While operating a business, questions inevitably arise:
- Do you and your business partners have a written agreement outlining the plan for the business?
- Will the employee you want to fire be able to sue you? How can you prevent this?
- Is that client contract you found on the internet really protecting all of your interests?
- Your lease is up for renewal — what do these terms mean? Should you be negotiating some of them?
- Should you have your independent contractors sign a contract?
- Do you need to trademark your business name?
- When do you need to enter into NDAs (non-disclosure agreements)?
- You're pretty sure that cease and desist letter you received has no merit, but can you just ignore it?
- Your client stopped paying you… what are your options?
- Can I enforce the non-compete agreement against a former employee?
Finding a separate attorney for each of these issues would be time-consuming and pricy, but trying to address them without an attorney could be risky and even more expensive.
