Legal Basics for Business - The Essential Entrepreneur’s Do-It-Yourself Guide to Protecting Your Business and Brand

Dava Casoni
The Entrepreneurs' Attorney

What would happen to your business if your logo or product idea was stolen by a copy-cat? If you are sued, will you lose your business? Your home? Or would you be protected? Afraid you can’t afford a lawyer?

You Are Not Alone!

Dealing with legal forms, filings and contracts can be scary and overwhelming.

You might think you can’t afford to get good legal advice. Or you might find yourself just avoiding the issue - hoping everything will just work itself out.

The reality is, you can’t afford NOT to get good legal advice.

Hi I’m Dava Casoni, the Entrepreneurs Attorney. I hear stories from entrepreneurs every day that would terrify even the bravest business owner. In fact one of the reasons I got into this line of work was because of some of the horror stores I would hear from fellow entrepreneurs. Most either thought they new better or had NO IDEA just how risky being in business really is.

Take “Janet*” for example. She’s a client of mine. Just today I got a very nasty email from a bulldog debt collector who was trying to track her down. Why? Not because she was a deadbeat. In fact she actually didn’t owe any money to the person who hired the debt collection agency and yet now she’s had to pay me to clean up this mess. So what happened?

My client hired a bookkeeper to manage her accounts but after a couple short months, it became clear the bookkeeper was seriously overcharging and not actually doing the work! My client fired the bookkeeper and gave her a final payment for the value of the work performed. The bookkeeper had the audacity to come after my client for more money! My client is completely in the right, but she still had to waste time and energy needed to run her business trying to explain this all to a debt collector (which didn’t work because the debt collector still called me). Even worse she faced ending up in court for a debt that she rightfully should not even have to pay.

All this happened because she made a couple of simple but critical mistakes along the way. Unfortunately she wrote some emails that set her up to lose the case if it were filed. We managed to resolve the issue and still save her some money, but had she only known better at the beginning, there would have been nothing for the debt collector to hound her over. She would have saved herself hundreds of dollars, not to mention considerable time, stress and headaches.

Another client, I’ll call “Bob*” was in an opposite situation. After completing a $75,000 project, the customer had only paid $27,000 and was coming up with excuse after excuse as to why they couldn’t pay the rest. Bob and his client didn’t work with a lawyer when they first made the deal, so now Bob is wasting time and spending money to clean up the whole mess. What’s worse, Bob may never be able to collect the $48,000 his company is owed.

Another client had the misfortune of having an employee who stole her business idea and contacts, made a copy of her product and sold it out from under her! As you might imagine this caused her to lose not just thousands of dollars in sales but an entire product line and potential customers. Now she faces the headache of a lawsuit.

I could go on forever because I hear stories like this day after day. Many of these people come to me after they have already lost tens of thousands of dollars or more. Like “Jeff*” who had invested $80,000 to go into business with a friend. Jeff didn’t have a lawyer draft a contract between them or help guide him on how to discuss the deal. Two months later, Jeff found out that his “friend” used the $80,000 to pay off his pre-existing debts and was now asking for more money!

And, then there’s “Sue*” who promised 50% of her company to a “friend” but didn’t have a lawyer help her define what the friend had to do for this 50% and found herself a few months later still wearing all the hats and doing all the work, just for 50% less profit!

*names and circumstances have been altered to protect the identities of the clients

Can you say “ouch?”

Can you see how easy it might be for you to be one of them?
