Have you thought about your company's legal protection?  The key to staying out of legal trouble is to think ahead at every stage of the game.  Whether you are a business trying to incorporate, name your company, negotiate contracts, or deal with regulatory authorities, entrepreneurship is rife with legal traps that can trip up the uninformed.  It is crucial to know your legal rights and responsibilities at each stage of business development.


However, you do not have to be a big business to face tough legal issues.  If you have been sued or have a claim, the courtroom is no place to waste your time and money, and there is no excuse for ignorance of the law and the rules or for lack of preparation.


Working with a trusted attorney can alert you to what to expect, advise you on steps to take to protect yourself, and help you choose the right course of action when trouble arises.
