Advocating for Business

Specialized legal expertise serves our business community

by RaeAnne Marsh

Doing things right at the outset can save time and money down the road. This truism is especially relevant in business. Working with an attorney to ensure a business is on the right track, in compliance and negotiating with protection in mind is why working with an attorney is so beneficial. It is also why In Business Magazine has compiled this Legal Guide to showcase local firms who strongly support the business community and offer their specialized practice areas, to help business owners make decisions on what firm to use locally.

There are many ways a business could get off on the wrong foot without proper advice. A common problem, alluded to in many of the monthly “Legal” articles in In Business Magazine, is businesses taking a DIY approach thinking it will save them money. This often backfires, making things more complicated — and, thus, more costly — when they later do get an attorney involved.

It’s not just a matter of knowing how to deal with certain matters; there may be requirements or implications of which the business owner is unaware. Laura A. LoBianco, a former chair of the Arizona Bar Association’s Business Law section executive council and a partner at Fennemore Craig, puts it succinctly: “Especially when starting a business, most business owners don’t know what they don’t know.”

In the case of protecting a company’s intellectual property, if the ongoing business owner has created something — from a name to a piece of machinery — but not appropriately protected it, establishing ownership rights over someone else at a later date is much harder and may require costly litigation. And business owners tend to underestimate their IP in the first place, says Lee Fraley, a partner in the Phoenix office of law firm Snell & Wilmer who specializes in IP and works with many emerging businesses in acquisitions and related transactions. “They tend to think IP only includes patents, but it’s much more than that — it’s almost anything that gives a company a competitive advantage.”

Or perhaps the business has been approached by another regarding a transaction. The owner may try to reach agreement on the business terms before getting an attorney involved, and then just ask the attorney to write it up. Law relies heavily on precedent, and there may be implications and ramifications to certain terms the business owner may be unaware of — this on top of the potential for missed opportunities for the business.

About This Section

Legal Services Guide

When exiting a business, as well, there are many factors to be considered that an owner may not have dealt with. These include tax ramifications, transfer of intellectual property rights, and how to structure proceeds to be most beneficial for future income. And there may be regulatory requirements such as getting permission from the Federal Trade Commission if the sale exceeds a certain threshold. “If the company is in breach or violation of that law, the transaction could be revoked or fines and penalties assessed,” LoBianco says.

What an attorney brings to businesses, then, is a view to avoid both pitfalls and missed opportunity. This In Business Magazine 2014 Legal Guide has been created to help businesses connect with the appropriate resources for their needs and to be a reference should a specific expertise be needed.

HOW TO CHOOSE A LAWYER

The State Bar Association of Arizona’s website offers these valuable tips:

• Get recommendations from friends and family members who have had positive experiences with lawyers.

• Search for lawyers by practice area or location at the State Bar’s online Find a Lawyer feature on its homepage.

• Visit the lawyer’s website; see if they will answer some basic questions before you commit to meeting with them. Ask about their experience in handling your particular issues, and their availability to take client phone calls and respond to emails. Some lawyers insist that clients make appointments and will not answer client calls and emails. You will want someone who is accessible when you need them.

• Consult a list of Certified Legal Specialists. The State Bar can provide a list of specialists in the areas of Bankruptcy, Criminal, Estate and Trust, Family Law, Injury and Wrongful Death, Real Estate, Tax and Workers’ Compensation. There are also lawyer referral services, which, for a small fee, will help in finding a lawyer.
