What Is A Business Attorney?

Businesses should spend their time running their business and not getting bothered with the intricacies of the law. They typically have experience in a variety of legal areas, including business formation, contracts, and intellectual property. When choosing a lawyer to represent your company, make sure to work with a lawyer who has no problem working in Imperial, like Brian Russ Law, Inc. 

How Can a Business Lawyer Help Your Business?

What To Look For In a Business Lawyer

One of the most regular requests we receive is for legal advice and understanding that the owner can trust. As a small business that serves clients in Imperial, our office understands why you value a one-on-one relationship with the lawyer. We commonly see business owners purchase a cheap legal advice service and immediately regret it. We love working with local businesses. 

The Top Three Areas Businesses Need Legal Support

CORPORATION FORMATION
We provide help for company owners to form corporations. Usually, a business will start as a sole proprietorship and once it grows they will become incorporated. Incorporating a business is critically important to protect the owner from potential liability. Once incorporated, the owner can also make an S-Corp tax election, allowing the owner to potentially realize significant tax savings. 
BRAND PROTECTION
Brand protection is a critical component for entrepreneurs to pay attention to. Think about this for a second: the commodity you're providing is no different from anything else that another person can provide. 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. Trademark protection allows you to block competitors from using a same or similar name to market their product. It gives you an exclusive right to use your name for the goods or services you’re providing. 
CONTRACT REVIEW
Contracts are boring. It’s a bunch of legal jargon that people put 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. Imagine if you have a $100,000 contract and there are risks. Would you rather spend the money now to understand the risks or end up spending 10x more on 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.
