I was in a car wreck oct. 2015, Mr.Vaughn and his staff helped me fight State Farm . Mr.Vaughn did an excellent job with my case. Before the trial he kept in touch with me ,went over everything that would be going on in the court room. Mr. Vaughn worked hard getting the case together and the day we went into court I felt confident we would win and we did. If you need a lawyer to go up against insurance companies especially State Farm , call Mr. Greggory Vaughn , you will not be sorry. Thank you again Mr. Vaughn.

Greg worked with me on insurance claims related to storm damage and construction defects. He is focused, steadfast and determined from beginning to end. He is a gifted lawyer and I would consider him one of the best at his craft. He is a natural born leader, an exceptional advocate for his clients, a fighter, a student of the law and a teacher. If the scenario were to arise, I would nominate Greg to lead a national class action lawsuit. I respect his legal advice and would undoubtedly choose him again. Thank you for your help!

I work for a law firm in Tennessee and needed some out of state deed work done for a client. I called Neil, and not only was he extremely prompt in getting back to me, but along the way, he communicated clearly. He went out of his way to fix a hiccup with the county, and made sure our client was taken care of. I highly recommend Neil!

Richard stuck with us for over 4 years with an eventual favorable outcome. Richard took time to respond personally to emails and/or phone calls on several occasions. He treated us and our case with the utmost dignity even at the worst of times. I would highly recommend him.

Ian Rosenthal, of the firm Rosenthal Parks, LLP was engaged by us in regards to an employment dispute in the summer of 2015. We found Mr. Rosenthal to be an excellent listener who understood our concerns and our case from day one. He was very clear and concise when advising us of his opinion as well as our options and his judgment and strategic advice proved to be right on target. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of our legal issue and truly feel that we could not have found a wiser more effective attorney than Ian Rosenthal. We whole heartedly recommend Ian Rosenthal and "Rosenthal Parks, LLP" to anyone in need of a very strong attorney who will handle your case in an attentive and professional manner, and provide excellent judgment that will truly benefit you and your case. In closing I would simply say if you have a legal matter in Alabama or Florida, "Hire Ian Rosenthal".

Knox Boteler helped my Mom after she and I were in a car accident. I wasn't hurt but Mom got banged up pretty good and had a lot of medical bills and some missed time from work. the other driver's insurance company gave us the run around on my property damage claim and would not tell us anything about Mom's injury claim. Finally, we had enough and hired Knox to help us. He got them to fix my car and he helped Mom with her injury claim. We were very happy with his work and we loved his legal assistants...they are wonderful! :)

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.

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.
