When you need legal counsel and representation, there are many things to consider. Does the firm practice law in the field you need help with? Do they have experience? Do they have members of the firm who are appointed members of the QC?
Protecting Your Business
Whether it’s a new formation of a business, protecting an idea, applying to for a patent or trademark or litigation, you want an Edmonton law firm that has decades of experience in handling simple, as well as complex, business scenarios.
Hiring a Law Firm Before You Even Start
If you’re thinking about creating a business, you should hire a law firm before you start trying to run the business. An established, reputable Edmonton law firm will go over the necessary paperwork that needs to be filed with the correct entities to make sure your business is legally sound. Backtracking is time-prohibitive and setting things up before you get started makes sure you’re on sure footing going forward. Nobody likes surprises, especially when it comes to taxes. Making sure you’re properly registered with the tax office saves you a lot of money, time and headaches later on.
Lawyers Are Counselors of the Law
Lawyers don’t just fight for your rights in court; they are professional counselors on the matters of law. They have the resources available to connect you to experts in helping your business succeed. They can walk you through various scenarios to building a business, expanding a business, selling a business and dealing with disputes with partners, employees, vendors and customers. They can also help you understand the implications of getting married or getting a divorce and how that might impact your business. Lawyers at an Edmonton law firm can also handle the closing of a business due to a partner or owner death.
