Running a business involves many complexities, legal obligations, and rules. Business owners must deal with legal issues and regulations during every stage of the company, from formation to lawsuits later on. Here are five key situations where you should hire a corporate attorney.

1. Forming a Business

When forming a business, choosing the right structure for it is essential. Many small business owners opt for a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or a sole proprietorship. However, some qualify for the tax breaks that go hand in hand with establishing an S-Corp. Working with a corporate lawyer can help you meet all necessary legal regulations before you decide on the proper formation.

2. Creating Contracts

Corporate lawyers can assist with drafting and renewing business contracts whether they involve employees, contractors, suppliers, or clients. Well-drafted contracts can minimize future disputes and protect your interests. An attorney with experience in the corporate world can foresee risks, which can help keep you and your business protected.

3. Protecting Intellectual Property

Often shortened to IP, intellectual property includes assets like trademarks, copyrights, and patents. These hold an immense amount of value for corporations. Likewise, it's essential for businesses to ensure they abide by laws regarding the intellectual property of other companies. An experienced corporate attorney can provide in-depth guidance to ensure you comply with laws and avoid lawsuits.

4. Following Necessary Employment Laws

Employment law is ever-changing, making it essential that business owners hire a professional for proper compliance. Corporate lawyers can assist in understanding employment law and creating employment contracts and non-disclosure agreements. They can also help you draft a non-compete agreement.

5. Complying With Industry Standards

Every industry has a specific set of rules and standard norms to follow. For example, non-disclosure agreements are popular in the marketing industry to protect trade secrets. The beauty industry doesn't have to disclose ingredients considered trade secrets, such as ingredients used for fragrances. You'll also come across data protection laws, specific regulations for your industry, and possibly environmental regulations.


Attorneys with experience in corporate law have vast experience in various industries, ensuring that you comply with regulations and have the appropriate business structure. There are so many business lawyers that, according to Go Remotely, the legal business sector has approximately a $160 billion market share. Finding a lawyer can be simple, though.
