As General Counsel of our firm, I engaged Mark to represent us in a matter that was unique and completely outside of our regular course of business. The deal was also beyond my professional legal expertise and range. Adding to all of this, I was operating with a very limited budget. Mark was incredible. Not only was he erudite, accessible and highly responsive but he equipped me with every tool I needed to close the deal on my own. His detailed briefings outlined all of the risks, the boilerplate and customary terms in the deal agreements and the pros/cons of each decision point. His work product was essentially a negotiation map which I've kept in my form files as a valuable resource for future deals. To me, the measure of truly great outside legal counsel is whether he or she teaches me to catch my own fish. Mark absolutely does that. Moreover, he did all of this well within his original estimate and our budget and was a complete pleasure to work with. He is a consummate professional whom I gladly recommend to others.

It was a pleasure working with Mark. He was not only a consummate professional, but also had a tremendous grasp of the issues and is well respected in the industry. I needed someone representing me who knew his way around the state bureaucracy and Mark definitely did. Very thankful to him for his representation and competence.

Keith was referred by a good friend of mine and he has worked with me on numerous projects. He is brilliant, creative, has made and saved me a great deal of money and is a pleasure to work with. I believe that he truly enjoys what he does and it shows in the quality of his work. He may be overkill for small, straightforward contracts but I wouldn't hire anyone else for business or securities work.

Keith was an excellent corporate attorney for the software startup where I previously worked. He had the knowledge and resources you would expect from a big firm, yet he truly understands how to help an emerging company grow. He looked for ways to be more efficient and kept costs under our budget. Keith and Davis Wright Tremaine served our company well through good times and bad, and I always trusted the advice and guidance he provided.

Kim and David helped me apply for E2 visa. I was recently grated my visa. I am very impressed with their knowledge and ability of what they can pull off. they have a very precise understanding of how the USCIS rules and laws govern in this Country. They were able to advise me on what the USCIS is looking from me, and what kinds of documents will justify my request for the visa. It is kind of hard to keep this short, but i strongly recommend these people and their skills.
Thanks

I've known Neal Black in a working capacity for over a decade as a business & corporate development executive and have directly retained his counsel for the last 6 years. Simply put, he is the most trusted and knowledgeable attorney I've had the honor of working with. From high profile Hollywood licensing deals to multi-million dollar video game publishing engagements, Mr. Black has a vast and deep wheelhouse. Since my first engagement with Mr. Black I have looked to secure his advisory services at every company I've been employed at, and was the first port of call when founding my own venture two years ago. I can not recommend Neal Black highly enough.

We've worked with Neal for about 6 years now. He is very strong in many areas and the type of lawyer that is happy to refer you outside of his domain. He's extremely responsive and my only concern is that this positive review will grow his business to the point I will have to give up my hours for someone else..

I've known Tim since the late 1960's and he has handled all my legal needs since he was licensed.
I've never hesitated to refer Tim to friends or family, for legal, tax, estate planning, or accounting advice.
He was always at the top of his class, and continues to have a keen mind.
His tax and accounting background are a great mix.

I found Amrita when I was looking into buying a franchise. Not only did she do a thorough review of my franchise agreement, explaining every clause in detail, she also took care of my business licenses. She made the whole process smooth and stress free for a business novice like me. She was always available, flexible and responded in a timely manner. I would recommend her anytime.

Our firm has used Michael Callan over the years, and each time have found his expertise to be outstanding. He has offered professional representation, advice and wise counsel. We have used him for various legal issues ranging from business plan formation, legal forms/agreements, to HR and 'non-compete' related questions. He has earned our trust and confidence, and I have come to view him as an 'extension' of our firm and a true partner when I have needed him the most.
Highly recommend!

Eugenie was impeccably thorough and detailed. The project was complex and required a great deal of knowledge and expertise. In fact, 2 other attorneys turned the project away because it was so complex and unusual. Eugenie's insight, expertise on complicated financial transactions, and advice were so valuable, and she was a pleasure to work with. I recommend her highly.

Most lawyers I've worked with do the minimum (if any) work to just mark the task as "done". However, Jerry goes above and beyond. He offers suggestions that definitely make his life more difficult, to help the customer, without extra compensation. He works very hard and deserves every penny he earns.

Brian and Diem changed my life. I cannot thank them enough. They truly care about their clients.
I’ve been drowning in debt for many years. It’s all I could think about. My entire paycheck was going towards minimum payments to creditors. There was no way I was getting out of this without bankruptcy.
I lost my job over the summer and consulted with a handful of attorneys before finding Brian. After filling out an online form, Diem immediately called me and scheduled a consultation for Brian and I that afternoon. He spent over an hour with me, and I learned so much from him. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, and he was ready to act fast! Other attorneys wanted me to wait months to file, and they couldn’t wait to get me off the phone. Brian took time to educate me and make sure I had all the facts. We ended up filing immediately.
Brian was always a text or phone call away to answer all my questions. I was always afraid to file ch 7 bankruptcy, but from the moment I first spoke with Brian, I was at ease. I knew I was in good hands.
The entire process was smooth, no problems whatsoever. Brian made sure I was fully prepared.
I’ve already recommended him to friends who are in a similar situation, and I highly recommend him to whomever is reading this. Please just book a consult with him and start living life free of crippling debt. A huge weight has been lifted. He’s the best of the best.

TRASH COMPANY, STAY AWAY!!! After initial consultation everything looked great and I was ready to move forward. They said they would reach out with engagement letter. Took them three weeks to get back to me so I decided to read the reviews and man I was wrong. Apparently they work like a turtle very slow with nothing to show for. Just a BIG SCAM. After hearing from them 3 weeks later I told them I am not moving forward. Now 6 months after that email they send me an invoice for the consultation for $330 and expect me to pay even through they did not disclose the cost of the consultation or make it clear that there was a fee even. Won’t be paying it of course. If it takes them weeks to send a engagement letter for a customer moving forward imagine what it would look like them doing any work for you.

I reached out seeking legal advice for a landlord tenant dispute. I followed up with a copy of my lease. 3 days later I get a snarky two word reply, and that was the last I heard from him. Clearly not interested in taking on new clients or treating potential with professionalism. You could just say you're busy or can't take me on, rather than leave me hanging with a strange response.

I have used his services since 2004.

I spent a lot of time trying to find an attorney who matched my legal needs and Roberto came through in spades. He is knowledgeable, fair with his services and most importantly is easily communicable with very fast responses. I can’t say how many times I felt overwhelmed with the legal process to which Roberto was always there to provide his expertise and really helped manage the accompanying stress. Roberto took care of everything and I even had some more issues pop up later which he took care of as well. It you find yourself in a legal bind, talk to Roberto and sit back as he’ll take care of it.

We have worked with Irving for our estate planning on two occasions. He is very thorough, flexible to our needs, and questions what we need -- he is not just taking a cookie cutter approach for estate planning but a partner in our overall plan. He gives good insight about the pros and cons of certain options we proposed. On top of that, he's very nice to talk to. highly recommended!

Irv did my will and a real estate transaction for us. He has an excellent grasp of legal issues in both areas. He took a 20 year view rather than just the current situation. He walked patiently through various cases. He worked on Christmas weekend since we were in a time-crunch. He notarized our documents in a short order. He is a wonderful human being with great legal expertise.

andrew did an excellent job of minimizing attorney fees and grief to my company and staff, by quickly settling a nuisance case; his fees were miminal as he works so fast and efficiently.
really great to find an old fashion attorney, who was more interested in helping his client get out of a jam, rather than see the client as a source of revenue.

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.
