The decision to start a business is often preceded by a great amount of thinking and planning. There is good reason for this as there are many potential pitfalls and some businesses do not survive. To help make sure a business has the best possible chance of succeeding, it is vital to have a relationship with a business lawyer. In addition to helping to get a business started, these individuals can also help throughout the life of a business. This is true regardless of the size or type of business.

Among the many matters that a lawyer can assist with when a business begins, the structure the business will take should be determined. As we wrote in a previous post, there are many options to select from. Which one will be selected depends on the objectives of the business owners.

Once a business is up and running, in most cases employees need to be hired. This provides a new realm in which issues might arise. To provide guidelines regarding employment matters policies and handbooks should be created. A lawyer can assist with this as well as any discrimination, harassment or wage and hours that might arise.

Legal disputes involving businesses are not limited to employment matters. Litigation could be necessary in shareholder disputes and contract disputes. Here are again, it is a good idea to work with a lawyer.

While it is of course possible to engage the assistance of a lawyer when the need arises, in many cases having a preexisting relationship is beneficial. This is because such an individual will already have knowledge about the business that could prove helpful in litigating the matter.
