Business Owners Need a Lawyer

Too often, business owners wear all the hats, from chief to cook to bottle washer. This kind of goes with the territory. However, there is one job business owners should not attempt – being the company’s lawyer. I suppose there could be an exception if you went to law school, passed the bar, and are licensed to practice law. Short of that, a business owner should not be their own attorney. Business owners need a lawyer. Likewise, they should have a close relationship with their lawyer.

Why is a lawyer important?

First, a good lawyer can serve as an advisor. Too often, people only think of calling a lawyer when there is trouble or when dealing with some significant problem. As examples, these problems could range from an employment issue or a dispute with a vendor or customer. In other words, business owners will only call a lawyer when an issue arises to the level of litigation. So, think about it a little differently. Wouldn’t it be a great resource to have a lawyer on call? Imagine picking up the phone to ask simple questions or pick the brain of an experienced attorney who knows you and your business. Maybe you have a contract question, a collection issue, a new idea, or an operational concern.
