Your Future Is Our Business
Small Business Law
As a small business owner, you may already be involved in a lawsuit or just considering getting help with a legal issue and have questions about working with a lawyer. At Robinson, Lauterbach, Green, Attorneys At Law, PLLC, our team works with small business owners to purchase or lease of property, establish a legal structure, make sure you are compliant with labor and employment laws, and other matters vital to a well-functioning business.
When To Use A Business Lawyer
There are times when a business faces issues that are too complex, too time consuming, or fraught with liability issues. At that point, the wisest move is to retain a business lawyer.
A few examples include:
- Former, current, or prospective employees suing on the grounds of discrimination in hiring, firing, or hostile work environment
- Local, state, or federal government entities filing complaints or investigating your business for violation of any laws.
- You want to make a “special allocation” of profits and losses or you want to contribute appreciated property to your partnership or LLC agreement
- An environmental issue arises and your business is involved (even if your business didn’t cause the environmental problem, you may be penalized)
- Negotiating for the sale or your company or for the acquisition of another company or its assets
When Do I Need A Business Lawyer?
Among the countless worries for entrepreneurs who are starting or are already running a small business is the question of whether they need a business lawyer. The perception is that attorneys charge high rates and many small businesses don’t have much, if any, extra capital with which to pay lawyers. As a result, most small business owners only hire an attorney experienced with business matters when confronted with a serious legal problem. However, legal help is a cost of doing business that often saves you money and helps your business in the long run.
