The Role of a Corporate Lawyer
It’s not an exaggeration to say that every business needs a corporate lawyer. This is because it’s more cost effective to hire a corporate lawyer to do many of the necessary legal tasks than it is to try to do them yourself. And even if you do try to take care of these matters on your own, you may end up needing a lawyer to fix your mistakes, which can cost you even more money in the long run. GLG LLP Lawyers provide an overview of all the tasks a corporate lawyer can do to ensure your company is legally compliant in every way.
Contracts
No matter what business you’re in, you’ll have contracts that need to be executed for one reason or another. A corporate lawyer reviews, drafts, and negotiates legally-binding contracts on behalf of your company. These contracts could be anything from real estate purchases to merger agreements to multi-billion dollar acquisitions.Corporate Governance
As your company grows, it will need more oversight, which means more governance. A corporate lawyer can assist your company with creating a framework for how it is controlled and how decisions are made. You might need articles of incorporation, bylaws, and other governing guidelines or you could need your lawyer to provide directors and officers with advice on their rights and responsibilities. Even if you just need some company policies written up to manage your growing workforce, getting a lawyer involved is always recommended.Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As)
Buying another company or deciding to merge with another company is a situation that is fraught with legal complications. From due diligence to negotiations, your corporate lawyer will protect your interests and ensure any deal is beneficial to your goals. It is easy to run afoul of the law when attempting to merge with or acquire another company if you don’t know what you’re doing. This is definitely a domain that’s best left to the experts.Venture Capital
You need money to keep your business operational and there are several ways to get funding from venture capitalists. However, getting a deal done when it involves large amounts of money isn’t easy. No one is going to hand over millions of dollars without knowing what they’re getting in return. And of course, the venture capitalists will want a deal that benefits them. Your lawyer will make sure that any venture capital deal is fair to you and will give you the funds you need to grow your business.Implementation of New Laws
It’s very challenging for a business owner to stay on top of all the new laws and rulings that come out in the legal arena. Corporate lawyers stay abreast of all legal changes that impact your company and advise you on how to implement them so that you always remain compliant. They manage deadlines, create and review new policies, and anticipate any problems that new laws and rulings might create.Conclusion
As the leader of a company, you don’t have time to deal with all the legal issues that come up on a daily basis. That’s why you need a corporate lawyer on your side.Do You Need An Attorney?
