Kevin handled my husband's bankruptcy as well as mine and he truly cared about us. He was patient and thorough with my husband and his very difficult and time consuming case. When I had to file, Kevin knew I was very nervous about the whole situation and he took care of me. It's been 5 months since my discharge and he still gives advice if we need it. We have and will continue to recommend Kevin Snyder.

Kevin Snyder is a total professional. He is calm, patient and methodical in his explanations. He answered any question we asked with the same calm demeanor that seems to be his way of doing things. He kept in touch with us and kept us informed of exactly what was coming up next. I felt totally secure that Kevin would "handle things" and that's exactly what he did. Thank you so much, Kevin!

I am a Realtor since 1996 in Peachtree City and have conducted multiple real estate transactions at the law office of Slepian, Schwartz & Langaard. The service is always excellent. He and his staff have a high level of integrity and knowledge regarding all the legalities surrounding real estate in our area. From the closing, to the buyers & sellers to the lender wants, needs and procedures he gets it all done with everyone getting the results they expected and walking out of the office with smiles! I have had questions pop up and they have been answered to above my expectation with help and resource knowledge. I never hesitate directing my clients to Eric's office and his staff for Real Estate needs. Over the years Eric has also become our family attorney for incorporations, wills, etc. I trust him with my family and do not hesitate directing others to his office for service.

Yesterday I went to Attorney Moulds website to request a consultation. This morning she called me and was professional, patient, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I was extremely worried about a defaulted student loan and she calmed my nerves and helped me consider some options. It was like speaking to a law professor; she broke things down in a clear and concise manner. I would say hire her.

Mr. Harris stepped up to the plate and won our case by working with the truth. His excellent discernment and striving with high efficacy to focus on the real issues pointed us into the right direction to work with him. The result was bringing someone flying under the radar get exposed to the extent the law will not allow him to continue. It has brought our peace and mental health back to normal levels, being happy, before the problem started. Well worth the money to say the least. Chris Harris will make this happen!

Eric and his team consistently provide outstanding service. We’ve worked with this firm for years and have never been disappointed. During the signing of our wills Eric provided helpful guidance and we feel confident that we’ve left our Executrix with what she’ll need to handle our wishes without being burdened by us not being prepared. If you don’t have a will, give them a call. They’ll take great care of you.

Very disappointed with the way my Grandfather's trust was handled. Two other lawfirms stated the format of his will was a poorly done template of lawfirm jargon. To have any questions answered after being sent literature from them cost an ungodly amount. I am just overall saddened that my Grandfather put his trust into this lawfirm. I could go into much more detail but It would not change anything at this point.

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.
