I needed someone to create and file several documents for a land development project. Corey has been AMAZING. I have worked with several attorneys in the past and there was always a delay in getting return calls and resolving issues seemed drawn out. Corey was SO RESPONSIVE and approachable, all at a really fair price. Wish I could give him 10 stars!

Corey led us through LLC formation, and I am happy to highly recommend him for your legal matters. He was super responsive, very easy to work with, and always patient and thorough with my questions and concerns. Nothing felt rushed in our emails or phone calls, but he was very fast and efficient in getting us squared away with all the paperwork. Don't hesitate to get Corey in your corner!

I had the pleasure of consulting with David about a business litigation case where the landlord severely damaged my lease for no reason. The case is quite complicated with lots of factors involved and David always took his time whether on the phone or in person to give his honest overview of the situation and what roads can be taken. I have yet to meet another attorney that is of such help as David has been. Highly recommend him to anyone!

Mr. Blum represented me on a Partition Lawsuit and I had the priviledge of witnessing the BEST information gathering deposition that I have ever seen! He is the most thorough Attorney and pays attention to every detail. He is the same in the Courtroom as a Litigator! Personable, easy to talk you and truly wants to get you the results you need. He has a great understanding of why you are in a lawsuit and what he has the ability to do to help! Great Attorney!

Norm Nash handled my mother's probate estate. He kept all four siblings informed despite being geographically diverse. He offered helpful suggestions on how to meet our needs and save on probate costs. He did just what needed to be done, and kept us in the loop as the case progressed. Norm is personable, communicative, and was very helpful in a difficult time.

Julia has been our registered agent in FL for three years for a condo we own (we live out of state). Her fee for that service is very reasonable and she's always so pleasant. But what we like best is how quickly and competently Julia responds to our questions or concerns. We recently refinanced and, without going into details, the process with the mortgage company turned out to be quite complicated. Julia was with us and advised us every step of the way. We got all the legal concerns addressed and completed the refinancing agreement, thanks to her help. We have recommended Julia to friends and would be happy to do so again. She's a great attorney!

I yielded to her legal expertise and ultimately came out victorious! Thank you so much, Julia!

I sought out Attn. McKee for advice involving a real estate matter. She was very friendly at the phone and a great help in deciding my next steps. I very much recommend seeking her assistance when it comes to signing contracts involving selling your property.

She started out much better than my previous lawyers but I have one hearing left and nothing has been done to set it since March, except for charging me a lot of money. I have paid almost 3 times the retainer and it's not over. She hasn't even responded to my requests regarding my bill since June and I haven't received copies of the documents that I am being charged for.

Absolutely the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. She spent many hours explaining my crucial case details and was extremely patient yet unbending with the opposing counsel. I would recommend her to anyone who requires an attorney who has a difficult matter to resolve.

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.
