As a business owner, you probably take on a lot of tasks and responsibilities. Because of that, you may assume that there is never a need to hire an attorney. But, can you really handle the legal aspect of operating a business in addition to your other daily tasks and responsibilities?
There are a lot of things already taking up your time and attention, and only so many hours in the day. Unless you have gone to law school, there are a lot of complex legal issues your business is facing without you realizing it.
Even if you think you don’t need an attorney, here are three top reasons every business should have one.
Liability
Liability is a big issue for businesses, whether you are a small startup or a corporation. From employee to employer liability to your general business liability, it takes just one wrong decision to destroy a business. An attorney can help you through these complex issues, answer questions, and help reduce your company’s liability.

Contracts
Every business needs a contract at some point. These contracts are an essential component to your business operations, handling everything from employees to customers to contractors. A contract contains complicated legal jargon, fine print, and other terms. By having a business attorney, you can ensure any contract you sign is beneficial to you, and that you are not entering into a negative agreement. Furthermore, your attorney can help draft contracts for your company to use.
Business Disputes and Complaints
Business disputes will happen no matter how great of a product or service you offer. If you find yourself facing a dispute, hiring an attorney not only shows the other party you take the complaint seriously, but it can limit how long you’re in court as well as how much you spend fighting those disputes.

While a business attorney costs money, you may find that you save more hiring an attorney than trying to go at it alone. Attorneys protect your business, help negotiate contract terms, and save you thousands in disputes, making them worth every penny.
