When does a business need a lawyer?
The best time for a business owner to establish a relationship with a lawyer is when your business becomes a “real” business rather than a hobby. Spending a few hundred dollars on legal advice at the beginning can save thousands of dollars later and can even mean the difference between success and failure.
We understand how tight budgets can be for a new business and offer free phone calls to get acquainted and an initial office consultation for $50.
Other alternatives are websites such as NOLO.com that have an abundance of information, The IRS has quite a bit of free information on business taxes, and every state has a website that discusses business taxes and has links to forms and instructions.
If you are getting ready to lease or buy office space, purchase an existing business or franchise, create a Master Service Agreement for your business, or sign someone else’s contract, there’s really no good substitute for having a lawyer review the documents before you sign them. If you look through our blog, you can find some real-life horror stories of people who signed documents without fully understanding the legal implications.
