Mr Riley is charming, bright, driven, determined, and insightful. I worked with him for five years at an international energy company based in Virginia. He is never late for a meeting. A great co-council for any major deal because he has amazing listening skills.
We worked with many outside lawyers on our very large transactions. The transaction size was several hundred million dollars. It is challenging to move large deals ahead due to the many complications that will surface along the way. We did not have deals fall apart. I would advise anyone considering hiring him to rely on his impeccible judgement. I would be thrilled to hire him or work with him again.

I am the CEO of Clear Labs. We are a Menlo Park, Californa based startup company offering an automated/intelligent next-generation sequencing based platform for food safety applications. We're widely industry respected and IPLL has been with us since the beginning. They have handled a significant portion of our complex biotechnology and mechanical related patent matters. They are also attending to all of our trademarks as well. The work quality and attention we have received is of the highest caliber, and it was important for our VC funding & reputation. I would definitely recommend (highly) their managing partner Cameron Tousi and his entire IP teams to my professional colleagues and friends!

If you are looking for an Attorney that has your best interest at all times during your case. Look no further because Mr. Cammarata is who you want leading you through the craziness court cases can be. He has the experience of arguing before the Supreme Court to handling smaller cases like a pedestrian being hit by a taxi cab. Is involved with his community volunteering and organizing blood drives, & was one of the first Attorney's who became concerned with youth athletics and concussions giving a caring voice to his own community. When I think about what I had to go through with my accident, I feel so very lucky and fortunate that Mr. Cammarata took on my case. I can't thank him enough.

As a business owner and mother of a wild two year old, I could not have been happier with how easy it was to work with Ashlee on my business contracts. I am so thankful she was able to take my incoherent thoughts and put them into order and capture what I was unable to put to paper myself.
She is professional AND friendly. I felt valued as a client and I felt like she had my best interest at heart. I highly recommend her for all creatives!

If you've worked with enough attorneys before, you know that the experience varies drastically from one lawyer to another, and that the quality of the experience is a function of both the counselor's skill and dedication and your own ability to provide the information they need to win your case.
Regarding the former, Andrew is the most skilled attorney I've ever engaged. As to the latter, he both (1) clearly communicated what he needed me to give him and (2) dug into the meat of the case to discover facts that weren't readily apparent but were critical to my wrongful termination case.
Additionally, he deftly prepared and guided me through the various interviews and negotiations with my former employer and provided sound, rational advice regarding how to respond to various situations and what to expect.
All of this made a highly stressful and traumatic situation much calmer and more manageable for me. That's a rare quality and skill, in my experience, one that is highly prized.
On top of all of this, he's affable, kind, measured, thorough, and extremely easy to talk to/work with/be around. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.

Consulted Mr Yellig on a variety of issues and problems involving personnel and labor issues. He's clearly a strong advocate for organized labor and the issues that affect it's membership. It helps me to have this point of view explained. As a General Counsel for a 4 billion corp for 30 years who hired hundreds of attorneys from around the country Mr Yellig is someone I can certainly recommend. I can recommend him as an intelligent lawyer that cares about his clients and is tireless in working for them.

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.
