Understanding Your Rights As A Business Owner

By Norbert Higensen


Owning a small business can be a large amount of stress for you. Trying to decide the right lawyer for you can be a difficult decision. Money can be tight and trying to find the right lawyer for the right fit in your business doesn't need to be tough for you. Below are a few reasons how to make the decision and what to look for when you are choosing the right representation.

New York's zombie man

Juan Arias, living in the heart of New York had a few complaints about his current status. He had been pronounced dead and consequently, lost his social security number, name, and many other legal documents because of a death certificate. The clincher? The real man that died was of the same name, Juan Arias. The names were simply mixed up. The living Juan Arias, has been trying to get legal help to file a lawsuit proving that he isn't a zombie, or even dead, but rather it was a simple mix up. He has sued three times and is still fighting to get his rights back.

Many times this trust leads to face to face agreements but no actual contracts. Business owners need to understand that this is not a time to worry about hurting someone's feelings. Getting things in writing makes it so that things are legally binding.

Some other issues that may affect your business may be the money that comes in itself. Many business owners don't keep track of their finances very effectively and often find themselves in a pinch when tax day comes around. There are many write offs and other things that businesses can do to keep the impact of taxes minimal.

You may wonder how to protect your business from law suits and liabilities. Finding a strategy to put the more of the responsibility on the individual clients or participants is a common way to deal with liability.

Larger companies are going to bring more money and a lawyer is going to be swayed towards them. Nobody wants a lawyer who will push away your small business projects off to the side to do bigger clients projects. When figuring out whether or not an attorney is the right fit, discuss whether or not a lawyer is willing to have smaller jobs. If the lawyer likes to spend most of his time with larger jobs, then perhaps the lawyer is not the right fit for your business while it is growing.

Ruler of the Universe

One man in Canada tried to actually own all of the planets in our solar system. He even included the moons of Jupiter and the space that occupies between the planets. He simply wanted to collect planets. Unfortunately for him, the courts didn't amuse him and did not grant ownership of the universe. They even banned him from filing any future lawsuits and required that he get written permission from a judge to file a lawsuit next time.

It is imperative to gain as much knowledge as a business owner as possible. Not just today but tomorrow as well. While the market is changing and fluctuating there is also a lot of change in the laws and regulation of business in America.

As policies change many business turn to legal professionals to give them advice in order to protect their assets. Turning to an attorney in Provo Utah may be a great start but you may find that your funds start running out with every legal bill that comes to your doorstep.
