Raj Dhillon has a long track record of providing Corporate legal advise. When you start a business for  you run into a whole host of legal issues that you may never have encountered. It is almost impossible to be on your own and be successful.

Any missteps on any one of your new obligations can result in losing millions of dollars. Businesses are also vulnerable to lawsuits in ways that individuals are not. A business without a good lawyer is risking its survival.

Role of commercial lawyer

Commercial lawyers serve three purposes.

First, they help you file the paperwork that helps you choose and legitimize your business structure. They help you meet your obligations with certain regulatory bodies. They ensure that all the processes and procedures are in place to legitimize your business. When you’re buying an existing business, they assist with due diligence.

Second, they serve a preventative purpose. They negotiate and review every contract you’re part of to make sure the verbiage really applies to your unique situation. They identify potential points of liability and help you remove them or strengthen your future defense. They help you enact policies and procedures which increase your chances of having to engage in litigation.

Finally, they serve a litigious purpose. Every business finds itself either pursuing litigation at some point, or defending against it. When that happens, you want a tough lawyer on your side, someone who knows your business inside and out and who is ready to fight for you and your company.

When should you hire a corporate lawyer?

You should consult with a business lawyer the moment you launch a business, or the moment you’re thinking about purchasing one. Without guidance, it’s too easy to stumble and create legal problems for your company.
