HELPING YOUR LAWYER PROTECT YOUR
BUSINESS
FACT #1: Contact a lawyer to
make sure you are where you need to be. Whether you are in
business for yourself or with partners, legal counsel at the
beginning can prevent more expensive and stressful legal
problems later.
FACT #2: One dissatisfied
customer or employee can cost your business thousands (or
millions!). By keeping counsel on the front end, you can avoid
massive potential legal expenses later. Almost all legal
problems can be prevented - well, that is if they are
addressed now.
FACT #3: When drafting
business contracts you can generally contract for any lawful
activity. Contracts are almost always enforceable. You
need your own terms and conditions with your customers and
suppliers. If there is a dispute, you can save the bottom line
by preparing documents favorable to your business.
FACT #4: You do not need a
written contract for an employee in Tennessee; however, a
properly written employee handbook can prevent all kinds of
costly actions against your company. Getting the rules set now
will do wonders in saving your business from frivolous law
suits and bad employee behavior.
FACT #5: Having an attorney
on-call actually saves money. Diffusing disputes before
they grow into litigation is in every business' interest.
Having someone you can involve early work efficiently towards
avoiding costly (and unnecessary) litigation.
