What It’s Like to Work With a Business Lawyer in South Florida
Running a business is fast-paced, exciting, and full of big decisions. But when it comes to hiring a business lawyer, many entrepreneurs are doing it for the very first time. The process doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With the right attorney by your side, you gain a trusted advisor who helps you protect what you’re building and move forward with confidence.
Finding a Trusted Business Advisor
A great business lawyer is more than someone who drafts contracts—they’re a strategic partner who understands your goals, your risks, and the day-to-day realities of running a company. When you’re choosing counsel, look for someone who:
Takes the time to understand your business model
Communicates clearly and promptly
Explains legal concepts in a practical, approachable way
How the Process Works With Me
If you decide to work with me as your business attorney, the process is simple and designed to fit your schedule.
1. Introductory Call
We start with a video or phone consultation to learn more about your business, your goals, and the legal issues you’re facing. This helps us determine the right scope of work and overall strategy.
2. Strategy & Scope
After understanding your needs, I outline a clear plan of action—whether it’s drafting a contract, reviewing documents, advising on a business transaction, or handling an ongoing legal matter.
3. Engagement Letter & Invoice
You’ll receive an engagement letter summarizing the work, fees, and expectations. Once the initial invoice is paid, I get to work right away.
What to Expect: Timelines & Pricing
Business Formation
Most companies can be formed within a few business days, depending on the Secretary of State's processing times.
Contract Drafting or Review
Most contracts are completed within a few business days and are typically offered at a flat fee, so you know exactly what to expect.
Business Transactions
Transactions—such as buying or selling a business, partner buy-ins, or more complex negotiations—often take several weeks to a few months depending on the complexity and number of parties involved. These matters may be handled on a flat fee or hourly basis, depending on the specifics.
Throughout the process, communication remains clear, organized, and proactive, so you always know where things stand.
