Cheyenne Business Attorney
Business law is exactly what it sounds like: it encompasses every legal aspect of running a business. Business lawyers are generally skilled in a wide variety of areas, including:
- Business formation – This involves ensuring that you correctly set up your business under the appropriate legal entity. A business lawyer can assist with drafting and filing all the formation documents and whether to file as an LLC, S-Corp, or another legal entity.
- Resolving claims and disputes – Most businesses will eventually have some type of claim brought against them, or at least be involved in a dispute. This can include sexual harassment, disability, wrongful termination, contract dispute, or general disagreement. A business attorney can help with these matters. More importantly, lawyers can also help prevent disputes by assisting in establishing procedures before something happens.
- Mergers and acquisitions – Mergers and acquisitions can be both exciting and stressful because of the opportunities and complexities involved. A business attorney can help with negotiations, documentation, timelines, and due diligence. It’s vital for the parties to understand what each other needs and how to successfully complete the agreement, as well as protect themselves.
- Contracts – Contracts are vital to all businesses, which is why it’s essential that they’re well-written and cover all your legal bases. A business lawyer can help create the necessary contracts to ensure that things run smoothly. They can also help with resolving breaches of contract and any disputes that may arise.
- Employment law and compliance – There are many legal and ethical issues in business, and one of the most important areas involves employees. A business lawyer can assist in mitigating risks, in compliance, and provide representation in a dispute.
- General Counsel – Often, businesses need legal representation for everyday legal matters, both simple and complex. A general business attorney is often referred to as general counsel. Put simply, general business attorneys handle general business legal issues and work with business owners and executives. A business lawyer can help streamline business operations because their work allows those involved in running the business to fully focus on it while the attorney handles any legal issues.
In business, it’s better to be prepared. That’s why we recommend enlisting the help of a business lawyer from the beginning. If you have a question about whether or not you need legal counsel, we invite you to get in touch with us.
