The visa process can be overwhelming but I'm so glad to have found Harris Beach. I've been working with LJ and Brendan during my visa processes, and both made everything clear and manageable.
Their knowledge of immigration law and their ability to navigate the complexities of my case, from the O-1 visa to a green card, was invaluable. They were always really responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me.
I highly recommend LJ, Brendan, and the entire team at Harris Beach for anyone in need of immigration support. Thank you!

I've had to use attorneys for multiple things over the years, and I remember being really surprised at the 5 star review for ANY firm, but now that I'm an immigration client, I absolutely get it! I had considered (and even retained) over 10 attorneys in the past 5 years for both personal and business matters, and my experience working specifically with Brendan Venter, a Partner in the Immigration practice, has been simply outstanding. He is the most honest, transparent, and responsive attorney I've ever met. I understand that law around marriage-based / family immigration is actually quite complex, and we immediately felt confident that we were in the right hands with Brendan, and he has not disappointed. You hear horror stories out there, and sadly most are justified. Brendan, and by extension H-B for being smart enough to make him the partner of this practice, have restored my faith in the craft... at least with them! Eternally grateful for his counsel.

I want to thank the Towne Law Firm for assisting me with my issues I had. I have used them 3 times in the last 3 years. Shalini Natesan was terrific during all 3 of these cases. One being a property dispute, another for title/deed corrections, and the last one in December 2024 was for the sale of commercial property. This was over the Christmas and New Year break. Most were on vacation, (including Shalini) I was trying to close on or before December 31st. She worked countless hours handling all the forms needed to make this happen. There were man documents the title company kept requesting, and/or changing. After about 8 straight days, nights and weekends included, the sale went through. I cannot thank her enough, to include the other ladies who assisted on the previous 1st 2 times...Diane, Lynn and Darla. The price was very reasonable, and I would recommend this Law Firm to anyone.
Thank you so much.

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish!
I had an exceptional experience with the Towne Law Firm and can't recommend them highly enough. From the reception staff to the attorneys, every member of their team was professional, communicative, and kind. They handled my matter with impressive speed and efficiency, always keeping me informed and answering my questions thoroughly. The attorneys were not only knowledgeable but also took the time to explain everything in a way that made the entire process clear and manageable. What truly stood out was the warmth and politeness of everyone I interacted with — they made me feel like a priority and genuinely cared about my well-being. If you're looking for a law firm that combines expertise with outstanding customer service, Towne Law Firm is the one to choose.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
- Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How Are Business Lawyers Paid?
Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
- Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.
The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.
It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
