So, you want to work with a business lawyer. Or at least, you think it’s something you should do.

Where in the world do you start? There are so many different areas to consider when running a business, it’s understandable business owners hesitate to invest their time and money into their legals. 

In my opinion, getting your legal documents in order and tailored specifically for your business is non-negotiable - and should be done with a professional. Like I always say: DIY is for Bunnings, not for your legals.

So, let’s explore why you should work with a business lawyer and where to begin when you decide to take the leap. 

I'll step you through the key areas that should be addressed:

- Getting your client agreements in order
- Knowing your processes
- Getting your website documents right
- Addressing the privacy policy
- Contractor or employee agreements

Ideally, you want to reach out to a business lawyer proactively—to set up systems before challenges arise. However, if you find yourself in a pickle, legal help is essential. Once any urgent issues are resolved, focus on building a proactive defence with strong contractual foundations.

I trust this guide makes it more straightforward for you to start collaborating with a business lawyer. Should you want a more personalised conversation, feel free to reach out—whether it's through a message on the contact page of my website or a DM on Instagram. I'm here to help in any way I can!
