What Is A Business Attorney?
A business attorney is an attorney who specializes in representing businesses. You can hire a business lawyer to assist on your contracts, corporation formation, intellectual property, and potential disputes with vendors and customers. When choosing a lawyer to represent your enterprise, make sure to work with a lawyer who has no problem working in Warm Springs District, like Brian Russ Law, Inc.
How Can a Business Attorney Help Your Company?
A business counsel can help your corporation by providing legal advice and supporting you in negotiations.

What To Look For In a Business Attorney
When you are running a business, there are a lot of things that you have to keep track of. One of the most important things is making sure that you have a good lawyer to consult with as needed. One of the most recurring requests we receive is for legal advice and understanding that the owner can trust. Our one-on-one relationship with our clients is a guidepost of our small business office that supports Warm Springs District organizations. We commonly see business owners purchase a fly-by-night legal advice service and immediately regret it. Local businesses represent the majority of our clients.
The Top Three Areas Businesses Need Legal Support
CORPORATION FORMATION
We provide help for company owners to form corporations. Many businesses will start out as a sole proprietorship and, when it becomes successful enough, the owner might take steps to incorporate the business. Incorporating a business is critically important to protect the owner from potential lawsuits. When incorporated, a business owner can save on taxes by making an S-Corp election.
BRAND PROTECTION
Entrepreneurs often don't remember to protect their brands. Think about it this way: whatever product you are selling, you are selling a commodity. A person down the street could open up shop and sell the same thing as you, just under a different name. Your goal is to make your product stand out when a buyer looks for the commodity you’re selling. And this is why it's important to trademark your company in order to protect and grow your market share. 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
Contracts are boring – they're a bunch of legal jargon thrown together to make sure that the parties on the other end might be protected. Much like you hire an accountant to assess your finances, you should hire an attorney to assess your contracts. We see it all the time when a business owner makes a handshake agreement thinking the other party will follow through and then something goes haywire. 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? We regularly help business owners with contract reviews. We also offer template contracts you can re-use, so please get in touch if you're looking to make a purchase.
