Hire an attorney before you need an attorney

In every business, there are two kinds of professionals who should be hired early on: accountants and lawyers. Accountants are hired to review your business’ numbers periodically and prepare taxes. However, not a lot of businesses hire lawyers from the get-go because they don’t see the need for one. Most of them think that they should only hire lawyers in case they get sued.

Therein the problem lies, because hiring a lawyer only when you get sued is too late—the problem has already occurred, and you may now have to spend a great deal of money to deal with the lawsuit. The time to get a good business lawyer is before you are sued. Besides, the fee a lawyer will charge to keep you out of trouble is but a small fraction of the fee a lawyer will charge to get you out of trouble when it comes.

Lawyers are not just there to bail you out when you get sued; they are there to prevent you from being sued. By providing assistance in all legal matters of your business and making sure that your business is in compliance with all regulations, such as handling zoning agreements, negotiating leases, filing patents or trademarks, drafting software license agreements and employment contracts, providing legal advice, and handling litigations, they can ensure that your business and you are more protected from potential lawsuits.
