As an entrepreneur, you probably have no idea how to manage the legal side of running your business.
You are not alone! Many entrepreneurs “don’t know what they don’t know” about the legal needs of their business. However, that doesn’t mean you should ignore taking care of the business you’ve spent so much time and money creating AND that provides your main source of income! Doing so is most likely costing you thousands and resulting in a loss of productive work time that you could be using to produce even more income.
Setting up your business properly and having your legal ducks in a row saves you time in the daily operations of your business and can be leveraged to increase revenue.
Here is how not taking care of your legal needs results in a loss of productivity and cash:
- Fretting over getting paid instead of having a system in place to keep clients highly motivated to pay you on time.
- Having long drawn out email tennis to discuss terms of contracts that should be standardized for repeated use.
- Working longer hours to pay a larger tax bill because you didn’t take the time to figure out the right business structure.
- Working longer hours to make more money because you’re not putting your intellectual property to work for you.
- Losing weeks to getting audited and losing your liability protection because you’re not keeping proper business records.
- I could go on …
If you have no idea where to begin with managing your company’s legal needs, you’re in the right place!
As a business lawyer, I work with entrepreneurs on their legal stuff everyday. In fact, it’s my responsibility to manage and anticipate the legal needs of my clients to ensure that their revenue is protected and that they don’t make any legal missteps. I love that my clients call me before they launch a new product, hire an independent contractor or do pretty much anything else!
Unfortunately, I get plenty of calls and emails from business owners after something has already gone wrong.
- Sometimes it’s because a competing company is using their business name.
- Sometimes it’s because they got screwed over by Legal Zoom.
- Sometimes it’s because a client hasn’t paid a large bill and it’s thrown a big monkey wrench in their cash flow plans.
- Sometimes it’s because they received a scary letter from a big bad lawyer, or worse, the IRS!
- Among other things …
When I get these calls it totally bums me out because, while I can definitely help at this stage, it is a hundred times easier to help before any of this stuff happens. Plus, it’s less expensive in time, money and headaches.
I know that you don’t want to spend your time learning how to do my job. You just want to get the information you need to take care of the legal stuff correctly and quickly, so you can get back to doing the work you love.
That’s exactly why I am teaching a new 4-week workshop this summer, The Online Entrepreneur’s Non-Confusing Guide to Business Law. This workshop will give you the information and tools you need to take care of the legal leaks that are probably costing you tons of time, money and peace of mind.
This summer take care of your legal needs once and for all!
The summertime is a great time to get your legal ducks in a row, especially if you have the type of business that slows down during the summer months. Take care of your legal needs now so you’re poised to make more money, be more productive and rock your business this Fall!

Therese Lee, Esq.
Here are some of the benefits of managing your company’s legal needs:
- you get paid on time.
- you get taken seriously by clients and partners.
- you’re ready for new opportunities from kickass joint ventures to venture capital.
- you’re ready to deal with any pain in the ass problems that may arise such as audits and business disputes and can manage them efficiently (PLUS having your legal needs handled makes these less likely to occur).
- You’re ready for a vacation because you put your intellectual property to work for you.
Rachel is professional, friendly and creative. She was able to help mediate a grievance in a timely manner and helped me avoid the costly, both financially and emotionally, road of litigation. I valued this experience so much that I am currently utilizing her services again. As someone from Gen Y, I appreciate her focus on assisting new, young clients and entrepreneurs. I highly recommend her.
