In the minds of most businessmen and women, the practice of commercial or business law is a highly specialized field of law that includes many legal facets from transactional contract development to litigation services. As a general rule business law attorneys are well-versed in the laws governing the establishment and operations of a business entity as well as transactions that take place between businesses, clients, vendors, sub-contractors, and customers. This type of legal practice also offers representation to resolve disputes between parties, businesses, any commercial transactions and provides litigation services when disputes are not resolved amicably.
Commercial lawyers can be essential when establishing a corporate formation, providing legal guidance in developing policies and procedures, drafting contracts, and other legal documents including non-competes and demand letters.
The relationship between business owners and their commercial attorneys is different than most other attorney-client interactions, because of the ongoing opportunities that exist within most business operations. Having legal counsel who is an accessible resource, is similar to having in-house counsel without the cost. Cultivating that relationship can be of a tremendous advantage when things go awry.
Most business law attorneys would agree that the phrase “it’s all in the contracts” clearly defines the role contracts play in establishing the rules by which most businesses operate with clearly defined roles, expectations, and procedures. Expert contract drafting not only helps avoid costly disputes down the road but protects the interests of the parties concerned in a way that manifests the intent of all parties involved.
Full-service commercial law firms can also advise on a variety of labor and employment law issues including wage and compensation plans, structured bonuses, incentive compensation, confidentiality provisions, and even Belo agreements and independent contractor agreements. Highly qualified and experienced business law attorneys also help legally establish a business and their compliance to applicable laws related to their industry.
