You Know Your Business Needs Legal Advice, But Is A Lawyer The Last Thing You Want To Pay For?

Do You Want To Get The Best Value For Your Money?

Legal concerns and controlling costs are two big issues for any business, whether you just had the business idea or if the business is a mature, established institution. The good news is that the Law Office of Bill Rounds works to make his clients and their businesses as profitable as possible.

Imagine if your business was able to satisfy its legal needs, protect its legal rights and prevent future legal problems in the most efficient way possible. Think about how much more competitive your business would be if you had access to the right legal advice while reducing your costs.

All Business Has Legal Needs

No matter who you are, or what your business is, you will be faced with legal issues. Many times, people don’t even realize there might be a legal problem. Some people may have heard of the numerous cases of children whose lemonade stands are shut down, and even threatened with fines, for not getting business licenses. As ridiculous as that sounds, one can imagine the potential issues facing more robust enterprises. There may be many legal issues lurking beneath your business that could have catastrophic affects if not dealt with properly.

Some people have no formal business entity and operate very simply. Others have sophisticated corporate structures. All would rather focus on running their own business and making it better without having to worry about overzealous regulators, potential lawsuits, or other legal issues.

Ignoring Legal Issues Endangers Your Business And Your Wealth

Legal issues are part of the cost of doing business. Whether it is getting the proper licensing, following the proper regulations, or simply handling liability issues, it is an expense that is often overlooked. Some people take risks hoping that they will dodge those legal pitfalls.

Failing to follow the proper laws and regulations, or ignoring potential liability issues, can lead to fines, damage awards and punishments that can destroy your business and potentially cripple its owners financially for a very long time.

Either way, the business that can lower their costs, can increase their margin and increase their profits is the business that thrives. This includes lowering legal costs.

The Law Office of Bill Rounds understands that your legal costs are a business expense. For you to be more competitive, you want to minimize those costs while maximizing the benefit. We will help you do just that.

“Two Dangerous Myths That You Should Never Believe”

Myth #1 – There is nothing I can do to lower my legal costs.

This is flat out not correct. There are plenty of tools, like LegalZoom, etc. that allow clients to do a lot of the repetitious, tedious work on their own. There is a lot of legal work that involves filling out a lot of forms, drafting letters, and many other things that clients can do for themselves. Having attorneys do this can be like hiring a very expensive typist. If you have more time than money, these can be a helpful resource that an attorney can review instead of create from scratch, to give you legal expertise for a fraction of the cost.

Myth #2 – I don’t need a lawyer, I can do it all on my own.

It is very dangerous to try and take care of all of your legal needs by yourself. We live in a world that is so highly specialized and regulated, even the experts have trouble navigating the maze of laws, codes and regulations. Most law abiding people would never guess how many things are required to start, own or operate a business. Who would have thought that a seven year old would need to apply for a business license for a lemonade stand.

Failing to comply with some law or regulation may mean nothing more than a few hundred dollars in fines. It might mean many thousands of dollars in fines. It may mean something much worse.

“Just A Few Of The Benefits We Offer Our Clients”

Save money. Some clients can do a lot of the simple work themselves for an attorney to review, reducing the hours billed by the attorney. We will help you do as much as you want to do.

Save time. If time is more valuable to clients than the hourly rate, an attorney can become a comprehensive resource for whatever is needed.

Reduce costs. Ignoring legal issues and hoping nothing will come back to bite you is a terrible way to manage risks and can devastate a business. Early compliance with the law and proper planning for the future can reduce your legal costs significantly.

Reduce personal liability. Many business owners could lose everything if their business is sued unless they form a proper business entity to shield their personal assets from legal actions.

Secure your financial future. The relationship between owners of LLCs and Corporations can be very complex and can lead to unintended consequences to some owners. Carefully drafted operating agreements or shareholder agreements can protect your current and future interests in the business that you helped build from the start.

Enjoy a higher standard of living for you and your family because of the increased time, money, or both.

Be worry free. You can know that your business is correctly formed and operating according to the law to reduce unwanted surprises later on.

Protect privacy. Few attorneys can advise their clients on how to operate a business entity to help protect their privacy. The Law Office of Bill Rounds is uniquely positioned to do all that is within the law to help owners maintain the most privacy possible.

Avoid making the huge mistakes that most people make. Many people either fail to do anything or fail to do it correctly. You will learn the best way to protect your business the right way.

No headache. There are hundreds of documents that you may need drafted. Everything from non-disclosure agreements, contracts, leases, purchase agreements, etc. Having to find and prepare these for yourself is time consuming and stressful. We can prepare these documents to meet your needs.

Enjoy more peace of mind. Having reliable legal advice when you need it lifts a huge worry off of the shoulder of many clients.
