Paul guided me through the very technical and specialized area of law that my case involved. We did not always agree but he was dead right every time, and the outcome of my particular case was more than I ever expected. He, in fact, dropped everything, worked week ends, etc. to bring my case to a speedy conclusion. I would highly recommend him.

My 21 yr old son was arrested for a misdemeanor level crime. We were referred to Mr Sciolla and promptly a consultation occurred. Mr Sciolla looked at the merits of the case and since my son was in fact guilty, Mr Sciolla saw it would be pointless to try and get my son off with a trial where the preponderance of the evidence showed beyond a reasonable doubt my son was guilty. He did not attempt to charge more money in a sure losing effort. Mr Sciolla was honest and he explained if my son would agree to plead guilty he could almost guarantee a favorable sentence. At the conclusion, my son had a very minor sentence, the fines were set in stone, however 14 months later, my son now has another chance to follow his dream career as the record has been expunged. Mr Sciolla was responsive to any questions and concerns we had and hopefully we will not need his services again, I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Sciolla for any criminal offense from the most serious to the less.

Mr. Kornfeld was recommended for assistance I needed with a property that I was interested in purchasing. According to the City of Philadelphia, the property contained lead, asbestos and 20 five gallon containers with hazardous waste. He negotiated with the City, hired abaters and removers and was able to also get a zoning variance for a roof-deck.
He always kept me abreast of what was going on, with e-mails and via telephone calls, and he was cognizant of my limited budget. I would highly recommend him.

Michael was asked to represent me Pro Bono. He always responded to my calls and emails as soon as possible. He kept me informed about what I was supposed to do and answered all my questions in plain English. Not once did he make me feel like I was bothering him or like a charity case. I could not have gotten a better lawyer even if I had picked him myself.
I would absolutely recommend Michael Gumble to anyone who needs a good bankruptcy attorney. Thank you, Michael.

Brian has the answer when we call. Unlike other attornys that "will get back to you" Brian can take the issue and openly discuss a course of action. As an employer who is watching their dollars, I appreciate his responsiveness. He has always been a winner for us and will be straight up honest when we may have dug a small to medium size hole for ourselves and then helps us minimize risk. Brian calls me back and I like that.

As someone who has litigated cases against Yana for 8 years I can attest to her knowledge of the law and ability to accurately asses even the most complicated of cases. She is licensed in NJ and PA and does an amazing job in both jurisdictions. If an employer or insurer is looking for counsel, look no further than Yana and her partners at GGM. Gary, Jeff, Marni are all top notch litigators.

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.
