How to choose a business lawyer

  1. Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
  2. Ask how many business law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
  3. Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
  4. Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
  5. Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
  6. Ask for a written estimate or flat fee for a defined piece of work before it starts.
  7. Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.

Questions to ask a business lawyer

  • How would you approach a matter like mine, and what are the realistic options?
  • How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?
  • Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
  • Which of my contracts most need a review?
  • Can you work on a flat fee or a monthly retainer?
  • Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?

A fee that is a share of the money recovered, paid only if there is a recovery. Common in injury cases; not allowed for criminal defense or for securing a divorce.
