Reading the roster in Eureka. Business law is two crafts: transactional work (forming the company, negotiating and drafting contracts, raising money, buying or selling a business) and dispute work (suing or defending over a contract, a partnership falling-out, a trade secret). Say which you need. For a transaction, ask whether defined tasks can be done at a fixed fee and how the attorney works with your accountant. For a dispute, weigh whether the attorney has tried or arbitrated cases of your size and subject matter, and their read on venue: county superior court, a complex-litigation department, or contractual arbitration. Bring the contract, the formation documents and the correspondence trail to the first meeting.
