Find a lawyer that you trust. Your lawyer will be one of your most trusted advisors and will know and learn things about your business. Not only that, but you need to trust your lawyers advice.
Choose a lawyer that you can understand. The law can be complex and as a non-lawyer you’ll need someone who can explain it to you in a way that you understand so that you can make the right decision on how to proceed.
Be careful to choose the lawyer that fits your own style. Whilst a good lawyer can adapt their own style to fit you, it would be easier if the lawyer already fits your style of business and the image you wish to portray.
Don’t just pick the first lawyer you find (even us!). There are many lawyers that can provide a legal service and each have their own unique style, attitude and personality. Make sure you choose a lawyer that fits you.
Don’t just use the same lawyer you use for all your legal affairs. Lawyers tend to focus on certain areas of law to provide the best service they can. The law is extensive and no one lawyer can competently service all areas.
Choose a lawyer that practices specifically in the area of law you need. A good lawyer will tell you when you need a lawyer with a different skillset than theirs. If they do, they are looking after you well!
