Business owners aim to set up and run their companies in ways that promote growth and success. For many, their business is a significant source of wealth and income.
The Set-Up Phase
During the set-up phase, advice and documentation from a Business Lawyer are essential in the following areas:
-
- Business structures
- Use of trusts
- Legal responsibilities of directors and management
- Agreements with partners and shareholders
- Protection of intellectual property
- Commercial trade and supply agreements
- Terms of trade
- Property purchases and commercial leases
- Employment contracts
- Regulatory compliance
Addressing these matters with the assistance of your Business Lawyer ensures your business is well-positioned to thrive from day one. Your Business Lawyer will also collaborate with your accountants and tax advisers to ensure your business operates in the most cost-effective and tax-efficient manner.
Your lawyer will provide a cost agreement for the services listed above.
Ongoing Support
Successful business owners ensure their Business Lawyer is part of their team by maintaining frequent and productive engagement. This includes managing risk across all aspects of the business. These owners and managers understand that their business is dynamic and constantly presents challenges, including legal ones.
Your Business Lawyer will work with you to determine how they can best contribute to your ongoing success. We recommend including your Business Lawyer on your Advisory Board and holding regular meetings with proper agendas and minutes.
