Understanding the business and commercial law needs of entrepreneurs

The business environment is changing rapidly, particularly for companies involved in international commerce. While those at the helm of a business are busy watching the market and the competition, it is helpful to have an attorney they can rely on to watch the changing regulatory environment for them, and to alert them to new developments.
 
Most small business owners dread the expense of consulting an attorney about the legal challenges their enterprises face. Often, it is tempting to wait until the last minute, when small problems have grown into serious threats to the company. Many entrepreneurs worry that attorneys know of no other way to provide legal peace of mind than by limiting options to a few standard choices.
 
I have been a business owner for many years and I understand these concerns. I try to apply an approach that is both practical and cost effective, and to work with my clients to develop strategies that keep legal costs low through prevention and early intervention.
 
I also understand that a business that will not innovate will not grow. The law does not forbid innovation, and neither should lawyers. I believe my responsibility as counsel for developing companies is to work hard to find lawful and ethical ways to help them achieve their objectives, and to avoid the phrase, "You can't do that" whenever possible.

We must not make a scarecrow of the law,
Setting it up to fear the birds of prey,
And keep it one shape, till custom make it
Their perch and not their terror.
