I have been a client of Attorney Rintoul’s for several years. He handles all my paperwork, appeals, and requests for my long-term disability company with attention to detail and compassion. Without his ongoing professional support, I would have been fighting against a big long-term disability company alone. Mr. Rintoul kept me reassured and calm all while leading me through the process. Each year I have a review and Mr. Rintoul patiently guides me through that process as well. He is a credentialed expert in the field of disability services and I am fortunate that he represents me. If you are looking for a disability attorney to assist you with your claim, look no further than Mr. Rintoul!

Marlene has worked with my company as outsourced counsel for the past 3 years. We are a food manufacturing company and have had to deal with many different arenas that required her attention.
Example 1:
We were dealing with an HR issue. Marlene was able to resolve this issue through mediation and was able to prove there was no case to push through without spending many hours on the case.
Example 2:
Contract disputes. She was able on multiple occasions to get a resolution that was favorable on our part. She has access to many boilerplates (employment agreements, NDAs, MNDAs, Contracts, Proposal/R&D templates) that are needed and required for the food industry. Having this setup ahead of time was able to minimize these issues when they did arise.
Example 3
The most recent was our company's acquisition. We were acquired by another manufacturer on the west coast and was able to run point and get a favorable deal for us that also worked for the other party involved.
Most importantly through the years she became imbedded within our business. You would of never known she was not a full time general counsel. She is worth her weight in gold especially if you are in the food business.

Dr. Fagel handled my husband’s medical malpractice case with knowledge expertise and tireless dedication. At each step along the way, he explained both the medicine and law so we could finally learn what happened to him and how to hold those who injured him, accountable for their actions so that it doesn’t happen again to another family. I am grateful to Dr. Fagel and his wonderful staff for all the time and effort they dedicated to achieving justice for our family.

I consulted Vance prior to presenting an offer letter to a new employee. He promptly reviewed the information, added language that I clearly missed (and which I later realized was important to protect me and the business) and also offered a perspective on the tone of the letter. Clearly he has done this many times before. Thanks!

Kevin Black is both stern and empathic. I went to him at a low point and under emotional duress. I had absolutely no knowledge of the divorce process. Kevin did his very best to give me a Divorce 101 lesson, and took it from there! I recommend his services to anyone because with trust and hope he will get you what you need. 🙏🏼

Mr. Segall was an indispensable asset in mediating our divorce. He was transparent, even handed, helpful in his suggestions, and guided us through a difficult process with clear explanations. He provided succinct written summaries after each meeting, and kept the mediation moving forward. As an attorney, he was also able to draft the separation agreement, which was a big help in expediting the process. I was very pleased with his professionalism and flexibility in scheduling meetings. I have absolutely no hesitation to recommend him highly.

Jody Burton of Lemberg represented me for harassment/nusense calls from a credit card company when only 1 payment had been missed. After receiving up to 48 calls a day from this creditor I retained the group for representation. Successfully winning my complaint with positives. All my fees were covered in the suit to the Law group, my credit file reflects a positive closure with no remarks about the separation, and got a little in my pocket for my time also!
Great job guys, Thank you for making this a smooth successful procedure!!

When I was in need of help and I came across Lemburg Law on Tik Tok. I reached out to them and explained my situation and found out I had a case to proceed against the manufacturer. I did proceed and just in a few short months I had gotten my settlement. They did very well as handling my case and answering all my questions.
I fully recommend them!!

(This is my second review because first one disappeared before it could post!) I wanted to say that Doug Bayer caps the "I" in integrity. I am so fortunate to have been referred to him, and feel I am in the best possible hands for my estate planning. Doug's no-nonsense, we've-got-your-back approach made a tough time so easy for me. His expert clarification of CT estate and probate practices helped to simplify a process that any other attorney would not have shared (in order to provide a more complicated and costly solution). And his uber responsiveness--plus his wonderful staff's super efficiency--turned around my estate plan in record time and set my mind at ease. Thank you, Doug and Bayer & Black! I would give ten stars if it was offered!

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.
