Every venture, from the part time home based start up to the Fortune 500 enterprise it hopes to emulate, needs a good business attorney. But which business attorney? Business attorney experience and quality can vary widely. How is the harried business executive of any size company going to find the time to carefully evaluate legal talent? What criteria would the business leader use to cut through business attorney marketing spin and know that he or she is getting a quality and reliable business partner?
There’s also the matter of cost. Business attorney expenses are often not discretionary, even in these troubled financial times. If they aren’t legally required to form and run the business, then they may be imposed upon the company by employees, suppliers, lenders or customers bringing the company into litigation. And then of course there’s all the transactional deals that need a business attorney’s oversight. Not only are the business attorney’s fees and hourly rate of concern, but also the costs associated with legal representation, particularly in the case of a lawsuit. Court costs and other legal expenses are spiraling out of control and business attorneys often aren’t sensitive enough to these issues because they pass the bill on to you. A fancy multimedia presentation may wow the jury, but could you have won without such an expensive exhibit?
I vet business attorneys in order to custom match their skills and experience to the needs of business. Beyond that, I help negotiate fee agreements and put in place cost controls that keep legal expenses within reason. But always, you as the business leader have the final say about what business attorney you want to work with. You can think of this process as prescreening or pre-qualifying, and giving you a short list that you can more comfortably choose from.
I give you my unbiased business attorney recommendations based on objective research. I’m not affiliated with any law firm, and I don’t take any money, compensation, fee splitting or anything of the kind from business attorneys. I only work for you to try to find the best business attorney for your needs.
People usually rely on reputation or word of mouth to find business attorneys. But the former can be out of date and the latter simply uninformed. The difference in my approach is that I go through the business attorneys’ paper trail to find those business attorneys that have actual, real world, practical experience with issues similar to the one you are currently confronting. That way you are assured that behind all the promises and bluster you aren’t paying for the business attorney’s learning curve as he gets up to speed on your issues. It’s not just the cost savings, it’s a significant contribution to peace of mind. And that’s a very sound business investment.
