When to Hire a Business Lawyer?
Unfortunately, this question often arises when it’s too late, or after you or your business has been wronged or taken advantage of. These sorts of disputes can tarnish a business relationship. However, preemptively consulting a business lawyer and having them negotiate any corporate transactions can go a long way in preventing future business disputes from happening. That’s why we suggest that business owners and corporations confide in and utilize an attorney in all their business dealings.
At Kenny Law Group P.C., we understand that people do not want to spend money on legal representation when litigation isn’t knocking at their door. However, hiring an attorney to structure business transactions, draft contracts, facilitate corporate transactions, and provide general counsel can help mitigate the potential for legal disagreements by clearly defining each party’s obligations and liabilities. Furthermore, if you do need litigation representation, Kenny Law Group can guide you through it.
You can request a free initial consultation with Kenny Law Group P.C. by calling (949) 881-5453 or messaging us online.
