Other Professionals: Your Small Business Attorney
At The Legal Department, we have years of experience working with small business professionals in a variety of industries such as legal, veterinary, dental, consulting, technology, real estate, and many others! Each of these industries provide necessary services to others and make an impact on the people they serve. Therefore, it’s important for our clients to get the legal help they need so they can continue helping others.
Most often our clients who are skilled professionals in their industry come see us to put in place a solid infrastructure for their business as well as to develop and protect their ownership rights. These are essential components to have in place for your small business to have a strong foundation.

Here’s what our clients are saying:
“Great firm! We have utilized Laurie and her team several times over the last two years, always attentive and goes the extra mile to ensure a clear understanding of our objectives.”
“They are easy to work with, cost effective and most importantly understand our needs as a small business! I would recommend them to any Entrepreneur.”
“My experience with Laurie Lee was nothing short of awesome. She has assisted me with multiple business matters. She is knowledgeable and easily accessible, both of which are important to me. I have already recommended her to others.”
We’ve highlighted the two areas of most concern we see in small service-based businesses below:
Entity Structure
The type, organization, structure, and governance of your business is the most basic aspect of your foundation.
Regulatory Compliance
Many service professionals are governed by specialized rules and regulations in addition to general regulations.
Client Relationships
Having direct, honest relationships with your clients is the key to repeat business, referrals, and long-term success.
Vendor Relationships
When you’re the client, understanding the agreement and how the relationship should work is critical.
Worker Relationships
Relationships with an employee or independent contractor need to be defined to protect your business and clients.
Owner Relationships
Without structure or guidelines to establish expectations and accountability, business partners can pose a high risk.
Trademarks
An important part of protecting your brand is making sure you trademark rights are in place.
Copyrights
Copyrights capture a broad range of things you create for your business or for your clients.
