I utilized the services of Mr. Veneruso on a fairly complex real estate matter that included, the disposition of real property where gains from sale were deferred, via 1031 exchange, and the purchase of a new property. Stephen exceeded expectation's by meeting timing deadlines and conducting due diligence - proposing clever and practical resolutions to issues that had potential to jeopardize the deal - helping for a smooth transaction. Stephen's friendly yet professional demeanor made all parties (but most importantly, me) comfortable and confident that the transaction was in the hand's of a competent attorney. I would highly recommend Stephen to client's needing assistance with any real estate matter.

I was involved in a pressure situation due to the actions of a very large insurance agency. They were threatening to close down my business to collect on a debt which my company did not owe. Even after we proved that the inflated debt was calculated on faulty data, they continued to send harassing letters, demands for payment and finally the Marshall. Mr. Cuevas stepped in and was able to offer a simple, effective solution that none of the other lawyers I spoke with had even suggested. He stopped the action with one visit to court. The whole case will now be revisited before a judge so that the evidence we have gathered can be produced and a final decision in our favor is not far off. We were only days away from having a business which took me 35 years to build shut down. Mr. Cuevas is sharp, professional and every bit as good as Avvo states. Probably even better.

Jack Malley did a fantastic job representing me on a discrimination claim. He communicated with me regularly throughout the process, listened to my concerns and got me to a resolution I was very happy with. Jack was always available if I had a question, early in the morning, late at night, and even on weekends. He always made it feel like my case was his priority. I definitely recommend him.

Thanks to Mr. Brown, our first home buying process ended up being a much more pleasant experience than anticipated. Needless to say, if I ever plan to buy or sell another property, I would definitely go with Mr. Brown again, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for representation. He knows his business and he is very good at it. I could not be happier with the services I received from Tyrone Brown. He is extremely efficient and professional. He was responsive to my phone calls and emails and always available to answer questions.

I was referred to Khader Law to assist me with closing on my home. He made me feel comfortable from the moment I stepped into his office. Purchasing a home was very intimidating.

When I hired Wilson Soto, I was thinking he was working for me, but not at all, he was working for the other side. When in court, he is not a responsible lawyer either. When I fire him, he did not feel ok and with all he knew about my case, he spoke to the court authority who was handle my divorce case in court and this person inmediately change his/her mind about my case. I could not even say anything to defend myself in this court. If you respect yourself and look for a honest lawyer, do not hire Wilson Soto at all.

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:

  1. What is your experience with businesses like mine?
    Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry.
  2. What services do you offer?
    Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution.
  3. 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.
  4. How do you handle conflicts of interest?
    Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business.
  5. Can you provide references from other business clients?
    Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism.
  6. 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.
