My company turned to Mr. Good to help us wade through an extremely complex license agreement for a brand expansion into a new market. We were dealing with a very sophisticated licensor and we had no prior licensing experience. We were worried about brand dilution, loss of control, and a long term obligation with little benefit. There were many issues to discuss and their lateral impact on the overall deal. Mr. Good and his team were able to decipher the agreements individual pieces, analyze the key issues of impact, and present a multitude of options. They were very responsive to our input and the end product was an agreement that not only makes us happy, it was fair to both parties. I have had several other issues that we have used Mr. Good and his firm on, including copyright infringement enforcement of our website, trademark infringement enforcement and lease agreement negotiations. Every time it is the same positive experience, helpful legal insight, and quick responsiveness. Mr. Good is helpful at showing us what the typical terms of these agreements are, what our leverage could possibly change, what issues might not to change, and what options we have to work around things in order to get what we want. I realize that putting 5 stars in each category may undermine this reviews authenticity, but I have absolutely no reason to lower a single mark in all the times my company has hired him.

Payam represented my business in an ADA and premises liability matter, where my business was being sued together with my landlord for personal injury. He was always diligent about every aspect of the case, and always very accessible. He explained everything to me very carefully, and put everything into perspective. I am the kind of person that worries a lot. I found him very knowledgable and he helped reduce my anxiety about the lawsuit tremendously. Thanks to his hard work, he sought and obtained a dismissal from the Plaintiff very early on. My business was not liable for one penny. I could not have asked for a better lawyer to defend me. Thank you and God bless you Payam!

James worked tirelessly on two claims for me in the Lehman Bankruptcy case. I feel his calm and thorough explanations of the process helped me to ultimately settle on the best strategy to maximize my claims. A young attorney, I never felt this hindered my case as he was eager to go up against more seasoned NYC lawyers and their egos and was not at all intimidated. I recommend him without hesitation.

Liam wrote up a collaboration contract for me. I found him to be very personable and very straight-forward. He will write things in an intelligent and thorough manner but also in such a way that anyone can understand. He will also modify the contract until it works for both parties. He's even-tempered, and when you are in an enraged state of mind, he will guide you back to a place of balance so that you are able to negotiate with a firm but fair disposition.

We used Ray Tamaddon for a hotly disputed contractual matter. He was refreshingly honest and straightforward about the merits of our case and did an excellent job to protect our interests. Even though the other side was double teaming him with two lawyers, he handled the entire matter by himself at a very reasonable cost. We were impressed with his practical common sense approach, and his "cut-to-the-chase" technique and efficiency saved us a lot of fees. We highly recommend him.

I have used Mike's services for contract negotiation/drafting as well as law suits. In all cases I've been very pleased with the outcome. For the contract negotiations Mike made himself available for frequent and often last minute meetings as required to get the deal done. He showed an eye for detail in reviewing the contract terms and provided good suggestions to overcome issues with the other party. He turned around analyses and re-drafts typically within a day. Every deal he has worked on with my company has successfully closed. With regards to the lawsuites Mike has worked on, he has shown that his philsophy is to settle the matter as soon as possible and minimize all costs including legal. This approach has servied us well on the cases he has worked on. I am comfortable providing a strong recommendation for Mike for these types of services.

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.
