Common questions
Do I need an LLC for my small business?
An LLC separates your personal assets from business debts and lawsuits. Whether it is right for you depends on your risk, taxes, and plans — an attorney can walk through the trade-offs.
What contracts does a new business need?
At minimum: client/customer agreements, and if you have partners or employees, operating or partnership agreements and clear employment terms. Verbal deals are where disputes start.
How do business attorneys charge?
Many offer flat fees for formation and standard contracts, hourly for ongoing advice, and some offer monthly plans for small businesses. Ask what fits your stage.
Can an attorney review a lease before I sign?
Yes — and for commercial leases, you should insist on it. Renewal terms, personal guarantees, and maintenance obligations hide expensive surprises.
