Aspiring businesses tend to disrupt and take risks. They don’t play it safe. That’s one of the reasons they succeed, but could be the reason they get into a legal jam. Your business needs a savvy business lawyer to manage and minimise your risks. It’s a lawyer’s role to think about all the things that could go wrong with the company and the ways to avoid these problems from occurring.
Business owners are often optimists and for them, the potential for legal risks can be easily underestimated. It may be difficult to imagine a trusted employee giving away a trade secret, a supplier providing something substantially poorer quality than you paid for, or a customer refusing to pay an invoice, but these things happen. That’s where good business lawyers come in.
