When you're starting a new business, there are a lot of things to consider when hiring your business's lawyer and most of them depend upon what exactly you're hiring them to do. There are four broad categories of legal need that startups will typically encounter in the early stages:
1) Corporate Formation
2) Financing
3) Website/Customer Agreements
4) Day-to-Day Legal
It's not easy to find and hire the right lawyer for you and your company, and it’s the challenge every company faces. For your company’s general counsel, having a fit on cost, rapport, responsiveness, and approach is by far the most important thing to look for.
