New businesses started by entrepreneurs are the life blood of Wilmington and southeastern North Carolina.
At Seay Law Firm, PLLC, we understand and appreciate the issues and problems unique to running a business. We are business owners ourselves. When starting a new venture, business owners want to spend their time and money worrying about marketing, customer service, producing a better product, and other items relevant to managing day-to-day operations. Many inexperienced business owners take a "do it yourself" approach to other crucial business aspects, such as legal and accounting.
When is an attorney needed for my new business?
In short, any new business needs a trusted attorney on-call to navigate the`complex legal terrain. Unfortunately, for some startup businesses, the decision to seek legal advice from an attorney begins to feel like the decision to go see a doctor. If you have a severe illness you will probably make an appointment with the doctor. If you have a minor cold, you may perhaps just wait for the cold to pass. As with severe illness, if you have a severe legal issue then you should seek legal counsel immediately (i.e., you have been served with a lawsuit by a disgruntled employee; you are under investigation by a State or Federal Government agency, etc.). Unlike minor colds and doctor offices, however, most legal issues do not simply pass. If you are going to start a business, it would be wise to consult with a business attorney before taking any significant action.
Speak to a business attorney before you make major decisions
The legal decisions that business owners make at the outset and formation of a business can have profound consequences on the business, partner relations, as well as the owner's or owners' personal assets.
If a business is going to have multiple owners, it is absolutely essential that all owners have a complete, formal, and written understanding as to how the business will be owned, managed and structured. Having a trusted attorney on call to avoid missteps and prevent minor issues from becoming major can be crucial to success.
