Lawyer
If you don’t have a lawyer, ask friends and business colleagues for referrals.
Make sure that you feel there’s a fit with the lawyer you consider. Your lawyer should understand your industry and be knowledgeable about small business. For the sake of good communication, it helps if you get along personally with your lawyer as well.
Your lawyer can help you with:
- Incorporation
- Business documentation (articles, bylaws, directors’ minutes, shareholders’ resolutions, dividend distribution and more).
- Shareholders agreement
- Contract review (customers, suppliers, landlords).
- Employee agreements, employment conditions and benefits plans
- Liability threats and insurance requirements
- Compensation structure.
