Attorneys are a vital part in successfully growing and protecting a company.  All large companies use attorneys.  Unfortunately many small companies forego legal services because of the cost.  This can be a short sighted approach that ends up costing more in the end.  If you wait until a problem arises, as they inevitably will, it likely will cost you much more to fix than it would have to avoid it in the first place.  Don’t let your legal questions become your legal problems.  

Everyone Else Has An Attorney Protecting Them:  Whether you know it or not, you are dealing with attorneys everyday, but these attorneys do not have your best interest in mind.  These attorneys work for your business partners, vendors, competitors, landlord, suppliers and the government.  They have their client's best interest in mind, not yours.  For instance, most contracts you receive have been prepared by an attorney and crafted to protect someone's interest other than yours.

Unknown Risks:  Without an attorney, small companies often travel through a minefield of unknown risks.  Whether it is the risk of using an infringing trademark or having inadequate employment policies, Whay Law will assist in identifying and evaluating risks confronting your company.  Knowing the risks will allow you to make an informed decision regarding your company's exposure.

Contracts: Contracts are an everyday part of business.  The obligations under most contracts are diligently performed.  Serious disputes do occur, however, and what is written in your contract will determine your rights and obligations.  Unfortunately, all too often contracts are signed that do not embody the full agreement of the parties or adequately address critical issues.  The shortcomings of a contract usually come to light at the worst possible time – when a dispute arises.  When something goes wrong the first thing people reach for is the contract to understand their obligations and rights.  Whay Law will work with you to ensure your company is contractually protected and receives what it is due.

Laws And Regulations:  There is a sea of laws and regulations with which your company must comply.  Failure to comply can significantly impact your company, including fines, loss of government contracts, and in some cases constitute a crime.
