In short, most likely. Businesses have a lot of legal requirements to follow, and most differ by state. That’s a lot of legal requirements to understand and navigate. Business owners, especially new ones, wear a lot of hats, but the legal one shouldn’t be included.
Legal matters are an area anyone wants to mess around with. Why set your business up for failure by not setting it up correctly? Hire a business lawyer so it’s structured correctly from the beginning, giving you your best chance at success. Contact our office to request a consultation to discuss your business needs.
It depends. A contract is a legally binding document; most of the time, the signers are bound to it. However, some exceptions or extenuating situations may allow one party or the other to void a contract. For example, consumer contracts have several laws in Texas that allow someone to terminate them legally.
Voiding a contract is not an easy process and may become challenging. If you are in this situation, we strongly recommend you discuss the matter with an attorney before moving forward. It’s essential you understand the legal options, rights, and consequences before voiding a contract. Call our office at 281-697-6678 to request a consultation to discuss the matter.
Now might be a good time if you haven’t launched your business yet, or if you're just getting started. A business lawyer can help clients to get their business started correctly with all the proper legal aspects. They help to file documents, draft contracts and handbooks, and register the company with the proper agencies.
If you are selling or closing your business and haven’t consulted an attorney, we recommend you do so. You don’t want to get into hot water when selling or closing a business. For a smooth transition or wind down, you will probably benefit from the assistance of an attorney.
