Below, he discusses three ways a small business attorney will help your company.

3 Ways a Small Business Lawyer Can Help Your Company

1. Find the Appropriate Business Designation

Incorporations, limited liability companies, sole proprietorships…these are just a few of the many business designations out there. A small business lawyer will work with you to find the best option that meets your goals and the needs of your company. Also, your lawyer knows how to legally file your business under the appropriate classification so you are in compliance with all necessary laws and tax regulations.

2. Make Your Contracts Legally Sound

Any business, large or small, requires contracts. From clients to vendors, from independent contractors to board members, contracts form the basis of every working relationship. Your small business lawyer will look over your contracts and ensure they are legally sound and your interests are protected by the terms of the document.

3. Look Out for Your Employees

If you have good, dependable staff, you likely want to retain them. The best way of doing that is to look out for them with clear employee rules and regulations; workers' compensation insurance; and options for healthcare. Your business and contract lawyer will help you better understand each of these protections and how to go about implementing them.
