I have used Dan on many occasions for a variety of legal matters and he is a zealous advocate who has a passion for the law and an extreme passion for helping people. In addition to practicing law, he is very active throughout the community and serves on many different charity boards and assists in raising money for those charities. In my experience, Dan's greatest gift is his ability to solve problems and work out complex problems between two idealogical different positions. He is just a excellent all around attorney and person.

He has compassion and works with us to make sure we have everything taken care of. He well researched background information for the case and has explained things along every step of the way. He is detailed oriented, meticulous, methodical, comprehensive and thinks of things that we never would have thought of.

My case was a bit unique, in that the disputed issues centered around the use and possession of electronic information and intellectual property. Chris demonstrated a high degree of technical aptitude in addressing the nuances surrounding these points. Given the absence of sound historical case law regarding these types of disputes, Chris and his team worked relentlessly completing research and correlating similar defenses. Above all, Chris and his team exemplify professional ethics, courtesy, and experience. Plainly stated, they're the best!

After incorporating my second start-up in Kansas City, I knew LegalZoom could only insulate basic liabilities and afford minimal protections for intellectual property. Realizing my options were limited outside of the Valley, I needed an attorney with versatility- one who could do more than an online legal service or a niche practitioner; I needed a JD/MBA like Matthew Kincaid. I've known Mr. Kincaid since high school; he is the same fanatical academic he was at Rockhurst, obviously remaining steadfast after graduating from KU and now as an attorney at Dysart-Taylor. Suffice it to say, my contract-forms are now iron-clad, galvanized by his meticulous review and consequential revisions. He is also a master of Cease & Desist. I'm fortunate to call Matthew a friend in my corner and our General Counsel at Bucephalus Dev. Please don't hesitate to contact me for additional references-thank you!

I had the pleasure of working with Jack, and I can't say enough about the incredible job he did for me. As a plaintiff’s attorney, Jack truly goes above and beyond for his clients. He took on my case on a contingency fee basis, which was a huge relief since it meant I didn’t have to worry about paying costly fees upfront. From the start, Jack was not only professional but also incredibly compassionate. He took the time to understand every detail of my case, always made sure I felt heard, and provided clear explanations of what to expect throughout the process. His dedication to fighting for justice was evident in every interaction we had. Jack’s expertise and determination led to a successful outcome, and I am beyond grateful for his hard work. He was always accessible, kept me informed, and made me feel like I was his top priority. If you’re looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and will fight tirelessly on your behalf, I highly recommend Jack. He is an outstanding attorney who delivers results!

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
