A business lawyer is a professional you need for your company’s team. Here are some things to think about.
A business lawyer is one important support member of the team of professionals necessary in running a business. It’s not easy to run a successful company,
large or small. A manager or owner will have to wear multiple hats, as it is. There are some hats that he or she will need to hire other specially trained individuals to don. A business attorney is one of them. Other specialized personnel that are mandatory in order to pull off a successful business venture include an accountant, a bookkeeper, tech support person, a housecleaning service and a handyman.
Besides utilizing all of these specialized pros’ talents, the owner of the firm will already be performing a slew of duties such as hiring, training and firing of employees, developing and maintaining a high quality product and service, devising an appropriate advertising campaign and more.
Here are the tasks the other team members will be taking care of:
Business lawyer: This legal representative will handle contracts, tax problems, employee difficulties, leases for equipment and office space, copyrights and patents as well as being the go-to person for all legal questions that come up. It’s imperative to have a savvy attorney to oversee all contractual language, compliance with regulatory agencies, and to make sure all employees’ immigration paperwork is up to snuff and patents are being tended to.
Bookkeeper: Keeping the books balanced on a daily and weekly basis will need to be done by a bookkeeper so that the CPA can get his or her job done in a streamlined manner. Organizing receipts, inputting figures into the computer, keeping track of payroll hours and more must be tended to by a competent bookkeeper.
Accountant: For filing the annual taxes, a company will need a full-fledged CPA, which stands for certified public account. Business taxes are much more complicated than personal tax filings and so will require a knowledgeable professional.
Tech support: Business lawyers become extremely dependent on their computers. When the laptop, printer, desktop or digital copy machine breaks down, can the manager fix it? Not likely. All companies need a tech support person on speed dial.
Housecleaning service: An owner of a company will not have time to tidy up the premises with all the other responsibilities. Having the employees do the dirty work will often lead to disgruntled workers. Hiring a crew of people who are willing and trained to clean is a smart move. Having a tidy office space will be good for employee morale and will make a professional impression on clients and customers.
Handyman: No matter what type of company it is, there will be items that break down. The window won’t open; the toilet won’t flush, the AC isn’t working. Having a long standing relationship with a competent handyman means that after one phone call, the broken items will be working again soon.
To run a company, an entire team of professionals is required in order to compete in today’s economic climate. It’s imperative to have a business lawyer, bookkeeper, accountant, tech support person, house cleaner, and handyman for your organization.
