                     7 Reasons to Hire An 
Attorney for Your 
Business

●
 You can well imagine, having a lawyer can help prevent lawsuits. In reality, if you’re hiring an attorney after you’ve already been sued, it’s probably too 
late. 
● A good lawyer can help reduce the charges, but they can’t protect you from 
them entirely. Be proactive before a lawsuit occurs, get your legalities in 
order, and cover all of your bases.

● Your business attorney can also help to solve all the legal issues where you 
can’t protect yourself.
● In order for them to get the best result, however, it’s 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, it’s better for your 
lawyer to learn about it from you, rather than the opposing side’s attorney.
3. Contract Drafting
● Well, If you need to negotiate a contract - whether with a customer, 
employee, or supplier - it’s important that you have a lawyer present to 
help with any legalities. A contract that hasn’t been approved by a lawyer 
can quickly cause problems.

the contract yourself, you’ll likely miss a few things that could get you in big 
trouble down the road.

check and receiving a certificate. You need someone on your side that’s 
familiar with the process and can get you through it without any legal 
implications.

when incorporating a business, but a good business lawyer will know 
exactly what to do.
5. State and Federal Compliance
● You’re 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 you’re a wiz at research, as a small business owner, there’s no way 
you have the time to sift through all of these laws to ensure that you’re 
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 worker’s compensation, draft up 
agreements for independent contractors, and help you safely fire 
employees without legal repercussions.

having an attorney on retainer, whether that’s a business lawyer or a 
personal injury lawyer, can significantly reduce that risk for your business.

patent. However, patents are time consuming and expensive, especially if you 
go about the process yourself.

time without the help of an attorney. Fortunately, an experienced patent 
attorney can help you get your patent in a timely manner.
