Jumpstart Your Biz

Congrats on taking the first step, putting your fears aside and leaping heart first into a business that you believe in.

Welcome to the world of entrepreneurship.

Do you have a start-up attorney?

If not, it’s probably because you assume that we are too expensive. Maybe you think it’s too early to hire an attorney for your business. Or, maybe we didn’t even cross your mind.

See what previous clients have to say about the importance of a start-up attorney:

When we first met with Patrice, we were very impressed with her knowledge regarding the legalities of our business and her efficient manner of strategizing the steps we need to take. Her knowledge and expertise are commendable. Patrice’s legal advice and services have been beneficial to us on both the function and structure of our business. We highly recommend her because we believe in her service offerings and workshops that will benefit our peers, specifically visual artists. We have also recommended Patrice to other individuals in the fashion industry.

The reality is that, starting any new hobby business requires an investment on your part and this, my friend, is the most important one. You want to set your business up for long-term growth, make sure that it is protected, and of course, you want to legally operate it. Start-up attorneys focus on preventive lawyering – developing and implementing legal strategies now to help you avoid greater problems (and costs) later.

 

Jumpstart Your Biz is an opportunity to access affordable legal services during the most critical time of your entrepreneurial career. Now you can have your own personal attorney for three months – just like the big guys do.

What does Jumpstart Your Biz Include?

Legal Strategy

As a new business owner, you have many legal questions. When is the right time to select a business entity, and what should you choose? What should you look for before signing a contract? How to protect your business name and logo, or why is it important? Legal strategy sessions are when you can ask your most pressing questions. Additionally, during these monthly sessions, I identify existing, or potential legal issues, and develop a preventative strategy for your business.

Business Entity

Selecting a proper business entity is key to ensuring that your business structure aligns with your long term vision and plans for expansion. This is not a one-size-fits-all decision. As a Jumpstart your Biz client, I will work with you, to determine the best business entity. I will also prepare your Articles of Incorporation or Organization, so that you have them when you are ready to file.

Contracts

You may already have contracts that you are using for your business. If you are like most of my clients, those contracts are not professionally drafted by an attorney, but prepared from a combination of templates found on the web. When this was your hobby, that may have been good enough, but as a profit-generating business, it is not. I review all of your existing contracts, and modify them so that they work for you. I also provide you with two newly drafted contracts based on your business needs.

Web Compliance

Do you have a website or blog? Did you know that there are laws that require you to also have terms and conditions, and a privacy statement. If you already have these important documents, I review, modify and advise you on them – you need to clearly understand your responsibility to people who visit your website. If you don’t have these documents, then I draft them for you.
