On outline of our Small Business services:
The Law Office of Smith/Coonrod offers a wide range of services to both small and large businesses in such areas as business torts, contracts, dispute resolution, real estate and franchise matters with an emphasis on achieving early resolution when possible. We can assist in reviewing and drafting operating agreements, buy sell agreements and non-compete agreements. We can explore alternative dispute resolution when that is in the best interest of the client but are willing to aggressively try lawsuits as well. We offer free initial consultations on most matters.
In-House Counsel/Retainer Program
Some business executives, particularly those leading small or emerging companies, would like an in-house lawyer on the management team to serve as a sounding board. They want someone who is familiar with the company, its personnel and culture. They don’t want to worry about the bill every time they ask a simple question. They want to spend less time managing legal issues and spend more time growing the business. They have plenty of legal needs but not enough to justify hiring a full-time attorney. Hiring The Law Office of Smith/Coonrod on a retainer permits the accurate budgeting for legal services and is generally less than what is typically spent on an outside counsel.
The benefits of the Smith/Coonrod business retainer program include affordability, ease in budgeting for legal services, prompt attention to legal needs, a network of contacts for related services and the establishment of a long-term relationship that will ease your companies growth to the next level and beyond.
