I am an artist in the Columbus area. Major pieces of my work were broken due to mishandling at two art venues. My damage claim would have been swept under the table if it hadn't have been for Ed helping me to acquire adequate compensation for my losses. Each claim was dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. I would whole heartedy reccomend Ed's legal services.

We were extremely lucky to find Ed after interviewing 4 other law firms. He guided us through our litigation with a true passion and strategic thinking every step of the way. His in depth knowledge, experience, ability to crank up the pressure while also seeking reasonable dialogue and outcomes was extraordinary and just what we needed as we went through the protracted legal process. As a true compliment to his abilities, we were only one of three plaintiffs in our case, and it was unanimously concluded that Ed should be the lead attorney representing all three parties' interests as well as the primary interface with the defendants. One more thing about Ed - nobody in the courtroom will ever be more prepared. And with all of the unexpected variables that come into play in a court case, that preparation proved to always be a difference maker. It made us appear even more credible and professional and enhanced our aura in all appearances in the court.

I have worked with Dennis Morrison continuously since 1990 in my then 40 year capacity as the Chief Lending Officer of a major commercial bank in Central Ohio followed as the Director of Asset Management for a major Midwest real estate development and management company.
Dennis successfully handled dozens of creditor rights cases each year for me and my various banking staff members. Dennis also represented our bank in many major loan documentation and closings transactions and provided counsel for numerous real estate related transactions.
Most recently Dennis was able to assist in an amicable conclusion, on a large mechanic lien case, which was filed without cause, keeping the situation out of the court system.
I have always found Denis to be reliable, engaged, accessible and highly competent in any legal work he was engaged for.
For these reasons, I have recommended Dennis to other clients of mine over the years and will continue to do so in the future.

It is such a comfort to have someone you can trust take care of problems that would otherwise distract you from your core competency.

My wife and I were planning a trip out of town by ourselves and realized we had not updated our wills or trust in 20 years (from other state). During that time we had more kids and many changes. Before our trip, we wanted to get all new estate documents done to protect our children.
The trip was three weeks away and I searched for referrals from friends and couldn't find someone who seemed solid and could produce a new trust, wills and other documents that fast. I found Jane on this site and contacted her.
Within two weeks, we were in her office signing the documents that met all of our needs perfectly. She kept in constant touch throughout the process and made changes as we asked specific questions.
Jane was very professional and made it an easy experience.

I consulted with Chris concerning a minor matter that could have led to a bigger problem without his expert guidance. Chris did a great job of advising me on how to handle the situation and accurately predicted what could or would have happened precisely. Chris set the right expectations from day one and always told me what I needed know rather than what I wanted to hear. I would use his services again and recommend him to any family, friends, colleagues, or clients. Thanks Chris!

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.
