Many businesses and partnerships are started with the shake of a hand. While this may be the friendly way to work with someone, it is not a legally smart way to do business. A business attorney can work with all individuals involved to ensure the partnership is fairly drafted and preserves the relationship between the parties.
A business attorney can provide a small business or a new business with information on licenses, taxes, applications and filings that need to occur before the business can operate in a particular area. They can also help with how to expand into new areas.
