Lawyers have different areas of law they focus on. Criminal lawyers help people who have been arrested. Family lawyers help people with divorces and child custody. Contract lawyers are pretty self-explanatory. But what do startup lawyers do?
Startup lawyers help protect and grow your business. They are experienced in working with entrepreneurs and new companies get off the ground with basic legal protections for a reasonable budget. While every startup is different, an agile startup attorney can help companies of all different shapes and sizes with their legal needs. Here is an overview of the services startup lawyers help with:
Whether your company needs a simple LLC or a complex corporation that offers shares, you need to form your company correctly. A startup lawyer can walk you through the basics and setup your company for a low cost.
Every startup needs basic legal contracts to get off the ground. These could be independent contractor agreements for app developers or graphic designers. Or a startup may need the terms of service for people who sign up for their mobile app or a contract for new customers. A startup lawyer on retainer can provide these contracts for a reasonable fixed fee.
Every website or mobile application needs terms and conditions. These serve as a contract between your company and people who use your service. Your terms and conditions will protect you from legal liability when things go wrong. Legal terms and conditions are also required to be on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Startups must choose a safe name and protect it from competitors. A startup attorney can conduct an online legal search to see if a name is safe. They can also file a trademark application for your startup to stop competitors from using a similar name.
