Advising Small Businesses: How Attorneys Can Help Clients Build a Strong Legal Foundation

Small business clients often come to attorneys after something has already gone wrong, so the most valuable legal work happens long before disputes arise. In this CLE, Taylor Duty draws on her experience as both a litigator and transactional attorney to walk through the essential areas every business attorney should be addressing with clients from day one. From choosing the right business structure to drafting clear contracts and planning for succession, the program covers the building blocks of a legally sound business. She also explains why getting these fundamentals right can save clients significant time, money, and stress down the road.

The course goes beyond formation basics to tackle the practical realities of running a business: employment law, compliance, risk management, and making sure clients have the right insurance coverage in place before they need it. Taylor's dual background gives her a unique perspective on how gaps in documentation and unclear expectations tend to become the disputes she later sees in litigation, which makes her guidance especially actionable for attorneys looking to offer clients something more than reactive legal help or boilerplate advice. Whether you're already working with small business clients or looking to grow that part of your practice, this CLE offers concrete tools to help you advise more proactively, strengthen your clients' operations, and reduce their exposure to costly legal problems.

Learn these skills from Taylor Duty, Lead Business Attorney at JJH Law, P.C. In her presentation "Advising Small Businesses," Taylor brings both transactional and litigation experience to bear on the practical challenges of working with small business clients, offering guidance that's grounded in how real businesses operate and what they actually need from their attorneys.
