Most people think of a business lawyer when facing legal issues. For example, when a company is being sued for copyright issues. However, having a business attorney on your team can benefit you in several ways. These are the most common reasons companies make sure to have an attorney's number on hand.


1. Legal Advice

Owning a business involves navigating multiple legal issues. According to JurisPage, in March 2022, new casework rose to 24%, the highest rate seen since 2019. Many of these recent cases involve legal issues or clients who need legal advice. For example, a writer may run into copyright issues and need someone to tell them the current laws in place.


2. Structure

Many new business owners believe they must have a specific business structure. However, a one-person business can be an LLC, sole proprietorship, or S-corp. All of these structures come with their benefits. A lawyer can explain the various structures to you to help you understand the legal requirements for each type of business structure. Choosing the correct structure will make other aspects of running your business easier.


3. Contracts

Contracts are an essential part of any business. Hiring independent contractors, like freelance writers, often requires a contract. However, these contracts must be drafted to protect your rights and trade. An experienced business lawyer will prepare a contract to ensure everything is covered.


4. Regulations

Various industries have regulations they must follow. For example, some states require service companies, like roofing businesses, to be licensed and insured, otherwise they could receive a hefty fine. These laws vary depending on the location. A local business attorney will know everything there is to know regarding regulations you must follow.


5. IP Safety

Intellectual property remains a valuable asset for many businesses. This could be the formula for makeup or the design of a product. An attorney will work with you to protect your intellectual property at all costs. They can also help you create contracts and paperwork related to your intellectual property.


A business lawyer will work with you to protect every aspect of your business. They can help start-ups understand the complex legal issues of starting a business and how to protect their property. Contact Peak Law LLC to schedule a consultation today!
