We operate an investment fund and incubator for startups. Most law firms avoid early stage companies completely.
But over a 30 day period, Gwen helped 3 of our startup companies address the full range of what could have been life threatening issues: governance structure, intellectual property ownership, contract negotiation, investor dispute, operating agreement. They came to our offices, made every deadline, and spoke in a language that startup CEOs could actually understand. More importantly, she framed the situation in a way that the owner clearly understood the risks and made the decision for the firm. The company founders understood right up front what the costs would be and all felt they got excellent value. Gwen understands the startup world and quickly established a rapport with our group which helped us move quickly. We consider her not as "the lawyer", but a key member of the team. As and the principal in the firm, I felt totally in the loop and informed at every stage with each company. Strongly recommend her and her team.

After relocating to Jacksonville Beach in 2014, I had to find a lawyer to handle various aspects of my real estate business.
I found Justin Cerrato and was very lucky to have done so!
Justin provides me with title services (and does a great job), but when I needed help with a property tax issue on one of my properties, he was able to find a cost effective solution.
This may sound simple, but the solution he found was AFTER I was told by the advisers in the County Court, that what I wanted to do was not possible!
I highly recommend Justin Cerrato, Esq! His communication skills are perfect and his willingness to think outside the box are admirable.
I'm not sure if this site will publish my email address, if not, here it is -

Everything was handled when I filed for my BK. Later on when I had questions his entire staff (or the same woman who answers the phone) was not only rude and short but highly disrespectful in her tone. So once you file apparently you can no longer ask a question or speak to Robert because he will tell you to contact the BK trustee or find another attorney.

I am an attorney in New York City with clients in various states, including California and Florida. I was introduced to Mr. Wilcox a number of years ago, and have used him for various bankruptcies and corporate reorganization matters. Mr. Wilcox knowledge of the UCC and federal bankruptcy code is excellent (and I started my career in the bankruptcy department of a Wall Street firm), and I always have found Mr. Wilcox to have excellent instincts when we had to prepare trial and negotiation strategies. At all times, his performance was superb. In one particular instance, my client was prepared to settle a preference action for $150,000 to $200,000, and Mr. Wilcox, who was fully prepared to "do battle" and using his negotiating prowess, conviinced the counsel for the bankruptcy trustee to accept $7,000.
It also was of enormous advantage that he is admitted to practice in Delaware, where my clients (as creditors) were involved in various bankruptcy proceedings. Mr. Wilcox also has been quite generous is providing consultations to my clients as a courtesy to me (i.e. without charging the client).
Only the directions governing these reviews prevents me from providing my full name and contact information, because I would be happy to provide specifics. I am aware that there is a less-than-complimentary review of Mr. Wilcox, but that hardly is my experience. I have worked with him over the years on over a half dozen major cases which, in toto, involved millions of dollars in claims, and I wouldn't hesitate one moment to involve him in any future corporate-commercial-bankruptcy matters.

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.
