The Top Three Areas Businesses Need Legal Support
CORPORATION FORMATION
We provide help for business owners to form corporations. Usually, businesses will start as a sole proprietorship and, once successful, the owner will decide to formally incorporate the business. Incorporating a business is critically important to protect the owner from potential liability. When incorporated, a business owner can save on taxes by making an S-Corp election.
BRAND PROTECTION
Entrepreneurs regularly neglect to protect their brands. Think about it this way: whatever it is you’re providing, you’re providing a commodity. Another person down the street can open shop selling the same thing, just under a different name. One of the most important things in business is making sure that people can easily recognize your commodity. This is why it's important to trademark protect your business in crowded marketplaces. A trademark protects a company against another company using the same or a similar name in order to market their product. A trademark gives a company exclusive rights over the products and services they are providing.
CONTRACT REVIEW
Reviewing contracts is boring – it’s a bunch of legal jargon thrown together to make sure that on the off-chance something bad happens the parties might be protected. You can hire an attorney to assess your contracts much like people hire accountants to help keep track of their finances. We often see people make agreements without signing an agreement, and then the other party changes his or her mind, but since there’s nothing in writing it becomes a struggle to fully understand what needs to happen. Think about it like this – if you have a contract for a $100,000 deal, would you rather spend a few hundred bucks up front to understand the risks, or would you rather spend tens of thousands later on attorney’s fees when you’re stuck in a lawsuit with the other party? Our firm works with business owners all the time to review contracts, business purchase agreements, merger agreements, asset purchase agreements, and more. Feel free to reach out if you’re stuck on a contract and need some help working through it.
