Pay More, Get More: Hiring A Lawyer Makes Sense
When you read the ads for incorporating for less than $200, you might be
wondering how to evaluate what you need versus what people are selling.
This article is to inform the consumer about all your incorporation
options.
First, you may realize that most the "incorporators" are not lawyers
at all. Most are selling paperwork that some lawyer generated once
upon a time, but they are not providing legal advice. How do I
know? Because it's illegal in every state to provide legal
advice without a law license. Look & you will see they're
disclaiming their work as legal advice.
Why care if the incorporation is done right?
To be clear, the paperwork doesn't have to be perfect to be legally
effective: that's all pretty streamlined these days.
However, in rare instances, a wrong word or sentence here or there, can
make a huge difference. More common, is that the non-lawyers
approach the structuring of entity in a one-size-fits all approach.
This is especially problematic when more than one owner exists.
Even for one-person owned companies, it's not ideal.
You don't want to be handed a stack of paperwork that you don't
understand. Why? Because you will need to operate your
company within certain formalities structured by that paperwork.
If you fail to do so, you risk the loss of the benefits of
incorporating. Incorporation is like insurance;
nobody needs it -- until they need it.
Why hire a lawyer for your incorporation? Because
attorneys actually add value, we're just not good at explaining that
value usually.
What you get with an attorney:
- Assurance. With an attorney you can rest assured that
the information, paperwork and advice you're getting are provided by
someone who actually knows the law. People without a law license
simply don't know what they don't know. It's not uncommon for
non-lawyers to provide misleading information or fail to warn you in
potentially dicey situations.
- Recourse. Virtually all (if not all) non-attorney
incorporators will make a disclaimer that they're not providing legal
advice. What does this really mean, since they're allegedly
providing all the same documents and filings as a lawyer? What
they really mean is, "don't come after me if it's wrong." Some
will even go so far as to recommend you review your incorporation with
a licensed attorney; of course, only in the fine print. By
contrast, you can sue an attorney for malpractice if they do something
wrong. And, you can also complain to the lawyer's board that
governs the lawyer's license. This alone provides strong
incentive for 99% of the attorneys to get things right for you.
It's downright terrifying to most lawyers to be hauled down to the
Lawyer's Board of Professional Responsibility and made to answer for
their conduct in front of their peers.
- Relationship Building. If you read anything on
starting a business, you'll find universal agreement that you build
relationships with a team of advisors early on in your business ( i.e.
lawyer, banker, accountant & consultants). Most lawyers will be an
invaluable resource to their clients throughout the lifetime of their
businesses. The more they know you & what you're up to, the more
likely they'll make time when you call. By contrast, if you have
no relationship with a lawyer & wait until you're in a pinch to find
one, you've just guaranteed yourself a great deal more stress in an
already stressful ordeal.
That said, why wouldn't you want all the above AND save money too?
Now you CAN have it all!!
Our lawshop, SMART START INCORPORATION, provides all the same
paperwork, advice and services as we provide in 1:1 meetings with
clients. However, because we do this in a group setting, you are
able to save over 50% on lawyers fees. Plus, you get advantage of
learning from others in the group. This makes learning more
engaging than listing to a lawyer drone on & on, and as such, you're
likely to retain the important information more easily.
If you want the assurance of having your incorporation done properly,
and you don't want to pay the full lawyers fees, sign up now for
