Online Demonstrated Need for Commercial Attorneys
One of the largest reasons for hiring a commercial attorney is for the purchase of commercial property. Any person with a decent head on their shoulders knows that the inherent complexity of commercial transactions means that they, the purchaser, will ultimately need to seek counsel. Commercial attorneys also have a strength in lease and purchase negotiations because they have enough experience on both sides of the aisle that they could either mediate the negotiation or represent one of the parties. Finally, people may need an attorney to ensure they hit a deadline on their deal. Here are the needs people search for online when they are looking for a commercial attorney:
- Commercial Real Estate Purchases
- Equipment Leases
- Real Estate Leases
- Intellectual Property Portfolio Management
- Letters of Intent
- Licensing Products & Services
- Business Brokerage
- Asset Purchase Agreements
Online Demonstrated Need for Corporate Attorneys
Corporate attorneys, one could say, solve more “white collar” needs. They also may be a part time in-house counsel when a corporation cannot afford to have an attorney on staff for 40 hours per week. Larger companies also look for a corporate attorney if they are facing litigation that their current counsel could not handle. Corporations tend to look for corporate attorneys because they are facing problems that larger companies have to deal with. These larger problems may include: corporate formation, governance, operational questions, mergers, acquisitions, venture capital, financing, and securities law. Here are the needs people have as they search for corporate attorneys online:
- Franchising a Business
