Many small business owners make the smart choice to hire legal services to protect themselves and their investments. You will need a trusted team to assess the legal needs of your small business.

Start On The Right Foot

An experienced team, such as the attorneys of Garcia-Zamor, can help you understand your business’s legal needs. This can range from helping you legally structure your business and filing the right paperwork to organizing stakes in the business between yourself and any partners.

 

This protects everyone’s investments and legal interests if the company closes or one party wants to buy out the other owners.

Trademark The Name of Your Business

However, naming your business isn’t just marketing. Your business’s name will ideally be trademarked so you can protect your rights. Garcia-Zamor can help you as you go through the trademark process and can help you defend your trademark from misuse going forward. You may also want additional legal protection for your intellectual property including further trademarks and patents. The Garcia-Zamor legal team will find the best options to suit your needs.

Protect Yourself and Your Employees

One exciting part of owning your own business is being able to hire employees. This mark of success helps to better your community by creating jobs and also helps take some pressure off of your workload. Keep in mind that this progress can have its own problems. You may require legal advice regarding contracts you may need for your employees, as well as any official paperwork your employees will need such as tax information.
