You might see hiring a lawyer as just another cost, but it's much more than that – it's an investment in your business's prosperity. When you hire a lawyer you're getting time, expertise, and commitment in exchange for payment. A lawyers job is to assist you in establishing your business and guiding you through potential risks. By doing so, they help prevent costly errors and save you money in the long run. Although it might cost you initially, hiring a lawyer is a smart move that sets your business up for future success. #legalinvestment #futuresuccess #riskmitigation

Attorneys are extremely busy—especially the better ones—so they HAVE to prioritize their work. It is usually the case that some client files will be treated more urgently than others. One thing you can do to boost your issue’s priority from the very beginning of the attorney-client relationship is to hire an attorney who is REFERRED to you (instead of one you find in the phone book or a simple internet search). The stronger the ties between the referring source and the candidate attorney, the better. An attorney serving a client referred from an important connection will probably be mindful of the fact that his or her performance will affect TWO significant relationships (one with you and one with the referring source) instead of just one. Of course, sometimes the attorney you should engage won’t come from a referral. I have hired superb legal counsel that I found online. There are a multitude of factors to consider in hiring legal counsel—the finding method is just one of many you should keep in mind.

Job description analysis. "Which one is it" edition I often like to use live examples when I am training and consulting for law firms. In this case my client is looking to onboard for several positions and I wanted to show them the importance of a clear and concise job description. In my research I came across this job description in #Linkedin jobs. Here is where being very clear on your goals and expectations come in: The job "title" is Litigation Support attorney. Attorney being the operative word here. Under the job title it says "long-term, temp, remote". Well which one is it? Long-term or temp? I go seek clarification in the "About the job" section and get further confused about the position. The attorney must be licensed in PA and/or NJ - huh? It continues with "document review" experience needed but must have "deposition and motion practice experience." I thought this was a litigation support position? All this for a rate of $40/hr. and a possibility of an end date of August 2025. Ok, so I highlighted all that is confusing about this job description. Let's fix it! First it should say "Litigation Attorney" and this should be a contractual position with a remote option. Period. Secondly, it should state that they must have document review experience in (fill in the blank) with deposition and motion practice (in said law). Omit the part about it "possibly" being through August 2025. And focus on the state that follows the laws governing the said litigation. If it's both than put both or hire two separate litigating attorneys on a contractual basis. Lastly, and most importantly, this position needs to be at a competitive compensation rate. Which averages anywhere from $100 - $450/hr. Being clear on what your needs are, starts with the job description. This will provide better candidates to fill your position.

Hiring a lawyer isn't about always about capability, but it is always about current capacity. I know you could DIY solve some of your disputes and challenges (hopefully not litigation but a cheeky D&D dispute is always game for a DIY). Hiring me isn't a sign of lack of capability to handle your business or your problems, it's merely a reflection on your current capacity. Tag in the fixer. Let's get ship done. #TheShippingLawyer
