A Few Important Steps to Choose an Attorney for Your Business

by Kelly Hyman Kelly Hyman
Whatever your status as a business owner – established, new or prospective – you are better off having an attorney. That is definitely not to say that you need one on retainer; however, it is always smart to have somebody available for you in case something goes wrong. And something is destined to come up at a certain point, be it a lease, a contract, another part of conducting a business or an employment issue.

In case you don’t have an attorney you rely on, finding one is like finding a physician. It starts with asking relatives, friends, and others who might have worked with attorneys in the past and it validates talk to prospects to make a final decision.

Other business owners, alongside bankers, accountants, and financial planners are great places to start. However, don’t settle for one name; get two to three at least. It is essential to find somebody who is the right fit for you.

Once you have a list of lawyers, it’s time to meet them in person. Most lawyers are familiar with being questioned by potential clientele. During the interview session, make certain to inquire about the following:

Qualifications:

The qualifications you would be searching for depending on the requirements you hope to have. In case you are starting out your business, then you would want somebody who works with a wide spectrum of business entities. Thus, he/she can help you in deciding what structure is ideal for you.

Fees:

Make sure to ask how the attorney charges.

While selecting a lawyer for your business, you need not only somebody who has sound knowledge on the law but you also need someone who you can rely on.
