Working with a lawyer usually isn’t at the top of people’s priority list for their business. But now is a great time to start thinking ahead about the legal needs your business might have in the coming year.
You can start getting your business ready for 2019 now by:
- Performing a quick audit and updating your contracts if needed (including those on your website!)
- Taking inventory of the content you’ve created over the past year to see what you might need to protect with a trademark
- Adding a budget line item for legal
- Getting a lawyer’s eyes on your business to see any legal blindspots
- Considering if you’re ready to have a lawyer on your team long-term through an ongoing retainer arrangement
Key takeaway: Being proactive about legal in your business now can help set the firm foundations to prepare it to really take off in 2019.
