Listen to our recent Sound Business Insights podcast Episode 19 – Your Business Attorney is a Valuable Partner. In this episode, Dan Watkins discusses the in-depth and important relationship a business owner or executive has with their business attorney. There are 3 crucial advisors every business owner should have: an experienced business attorney, a banker (source of finance) and a CPA to advise you on how to be most profitable.
In Episode 19 – Your Business Attorney is a Valuable Partner Dan Watkins discusses the closeness of the relationship between the Watkins Firm and our clients. This often begins either at business formation or when a problem arises. When forming a company the Watkins Firm has a substantive initial conversation to learn about our client’s plans for the business and the type of business it is. We want to know if it’s highly regulated or not, associated risks and how we can best help and support the owner(s). We also discuss the exit strategy, the plan for one year, five years, ten years. What are the important protections afforded by properly executed trade secret and intellectual property strategies?
Learn about the importance of a proven contract and hear the story of a “mythical client” who attempted to craft their own agreement and wound up going to jail. “Show me a contract and I’ll tell you if the business is successful or not.” Your business attorney should be a valued and trusted advisor with whom you discuss every aspect of your company including triumphs, challenges and changes. We help our clients through every aspect of serving as an employer and discuss the harsh challenges of being an employer here in California and how to comply with every rule, law and regulation.
Finally, Episode 19 – Your Business Attorney is a Valuable Partner discusses resolving business disputes, litigation and Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) actions. Whether you are starting a company, buying a company, selling your company or anywhere in between, you will find this episode of Sound Business Insights to be informative, insightful and helpful.
