Posted by Jon H. Freis | Dec 30, 2019 | 0 Comments

It is an exciting prospect to start your own company, and some people jump right in and start selling a service or product right away. While it is possible to begin your company as a sole proprietorship or partnership without any official paperwork or state filings, there are many other issues to consider to prevent any unnecessary expenses, liability, or problems with the law. It is important to consult with a business lawyer in Beverly Hills if you are planning to start a new company.

How a Lawyer Can Help

Business attorneys can assist new startups in many different ways, many of which can set a new venture up for success. Some issues that a business lawyer might address include the following:

  • Helping you select a name for your company that prevents any possible infringement issues
  • Advising you of the possible benefits and drawbacks of different types of business entities
  • Helping you file the documentation with the state when needed
  • Drafting and negotiating owner and operating agreements
  • Identifying any possible compliance issues with zoning, permits, hiring employees, health and safety, and more

All of the above can be critical yet complicated matters to address, and any errors can result in costly consequences down the road, which might even jeopardize your entire enterprise. It is worth it to ensure you have the right legal guidance for the numerous decisions you need to make.
