10 Questions To Ask Your Prospective Business Attorney

Owning your own small business is an incredibly enriching and rewarding experience. You get to create and inspire your own task force, encouraging everyone to work towards a common vision—yours! Each business is as different and unique as the owners that run it, but they all have one very important thing in common:

Every business will experience multiple legal issues in its lifetime.

Compliance issues, taxes, corporate liability, and intellectual property laws barely scratch the surface of the many types of legal issues that small business owners face on a regular basis. Finding a skilled business attorney to help you navigate these issues is crucial for the success of your company. Because we are dedicated to the success of your business, the Law Offices of Phillips, McElyea, Carpenter, & Welch, P.C. have put together a list of 10 important questions to ask your potential business attorney.
  1. How much experience do you have with my industry?
  2. Will there be anyone else handling my business? How much experience do they have?
  3. Do you have any clients that could create a conflict of interest?
  4. What is your strategy for handling unforeseen risks?
  5. What happens if I get sued?
  6. What do I need to do to protect the name of my business?
  7. How do I keep my business compliant?
  8. What is your strategy for conflict resolution?
  9. How do you communicate with your clients?
  10. How will you charge me? Are there things I can do to help lower the cost?
Asking your potential lawyer these questions will get you started on the right track. The goal is to have a natural, relaxed conversation with your potential business attorney to get to know one another. If you feel comfortable discussing serious and potentially confidential aspects of your business with your prospective attorney, chances are you've found the perfect legal representation for your business.
