Based on my experience in providing legal services to enterprises, I have the following opinions on how to find lawyers as legal advisors for enterprises:
Common legal risks are as follows:
p>1. Prevent labor disputes before they happen. Lawyers should help companies improve human resource management, especially the expenditure on workers' compensation and economic compensation should be avoided as much as possible to avoid large losses.
2. Contract specifications serve transactions. The purpose of a contract is to bind both parties to the transaction, but in my opinion, the lawyer’s contract services must first adhere to the promotion of cooperation as the first priority, avoid rigidly modifying the contract, and maximize the ability of legal business services. For example, I When helping companies negotiate and review contracts, I will basically inquire in detail about the basic situation of both parties to the transaction, and provide the best legal advice based on the specific conditions of the transaction place.
3. Design the equity structure and make long-term plans for the enterprise. Equity is the foundation for enterprise development. Formulating an equity structure that suits the company's own conditions is the cornerstone of the company's long-term stability.
4. Intellectual property services. For some enterprises, it is necessary to plan the layout of intellectual property rights, patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and must be prepared for rainy days.
5. The role of a lawyer should include business negotiation and strategist roles. For me, I serve enterprises and have always defined myself as the think tank of business owners. I will provide my own solutions to problems that arise in enterprises, not limited to legal issues. I am still confident in this. Basically, the opinions I give, including legal opinions and business opinions, will never appear amateurish.
6. Lawyers must have litigation experience requirements. A good legal advisor must be a litigation lawyer. This is the premise. Of course, this does not require companies to go to court. On the contrary, this condition is precisely to prevent companies from going to court. It is impossible for a lawyer who does not engage in litigation to provide companies with realistic legal solutions. Because once all corporate legal risks are realized, litigation is likely to be the final solution. Therefore, lawyers with litigation experience can provide genuine legal services and how to solve problems without litigation. Even through litigation, To solve the problem better, those lawyers who only deal with non-litigation business should just listen to it.
7. To be a problem-solving lawyer, your business skills must be comprehensive. Because the needs of enterprises are diverse, today they are economic disputes, tomorrow they are employment issues, and the day after tomorrow they are equity and intellectual property risks. Therefore, lawyers must have rich problem-solving abilities. This requires lawyers to have a relatively broad scope of business. At the same time, business owners should not be overly obsessed with specialization. The most important thing is the lawyer himself.
6. Provide efficient and fast legal services. Lawyers must provide solutions to problems as soon as possible. As a company, execution must keep up. No matter how busy the lawyer is, he must perform his duties.
The bosses of the companies I serve are relatively trusting, and I have always adhered to my own service principles. While avoiding losses for the company, I also provide the best legal and business services for the company's development and market expansion. .
