Small Business
From my extensive experience over the years, and thanks to the entrepreneurs I've had the privilege of meeting along the way, I've reached an insight — that given the significant information gaps, and the inability to maintain a legal department on an ongoing basis and pay a fixed salary to attorneys with varying expertise, small business owners are more exposed than anyone to (significant) legal claims, and they need ongoing legal advisory, support, and protection to minimize the risks involved in running their business.
Every small business must choose a professional attorney with expertise in small businesses, who together with a deep understanding of the business itself, can also provide legal advisory on all the legal and business issues that characterize small businesses.
Among my range of services for small businesses
Preparation of new contracts and skilled negotiation for improving existing contracts
Many small business owners who use generic contracts, or ones found browsing the internet, or inherited from friends, instead of seeking dedicated legal advisory, may find themselves in legal complications that will harm them and even cause them to lose clients or lose significant amounts of money. Don't cut corners on your business.
Preparation of client agreements
Small businesses tend to neglect signing written agreements with clients to avoid giving the relationship an overly formal and bureaucratic nature, but a good agreement is essentially a clear alignment of expectations between the business owner and the client, and it protects you first and foremost! For example, it's important to address liability limitation, so you don't find yourself in a situation where you provided a service worth a few thousand shekels, and now you're being asked to take responsibility for damages worth hundreds of thousands of ₪. Beyond that, your intellectual property rights are the lifeblood of your business — protect them! And likewise, a clear cancellation policy will prevent problems down the road.
You have a serious business? Treat it accordingly.
Preparation of terms of service and privacy policy for business owners with a digital presence
Many businesses use their digital presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, landing pages, websites, etc.) to promote their businesses, all without being aware of the obligations that come with entering the digital sphere. Prevention in these cases is inexpensive, but defending against a lawsuit for breach of your obligations is expensive and painful.
Ongoing legal advisory and support
A regular relationship with an attorney providing ongoing legal advisory is a great advantage for a small business. An attorney who knows your business, its development, and its engagements will know how to protect it, advance it, and respond quickly, exactly as you need. A small business needs legal assistance no less good and personally tailored to the nature of the business and its needs than a giant corporation. Your business needs an attorney who is well-versed in all the legislation and regulations that affect it, in order to provide your business with the legal protection it deserves, in a way that allows you to do what you do best — run your business.
