How Can a Corporate Lawyer Help in Business Expansion and Risk Control?

How Can a Corporate Lawyer Help in Business Expansion and Risk Control?

From the outside expansion of your business may seem positive. You are setting up another branch, hiring new staff, appointing vendors or distributors. Raising money or maybe entering a bigger contract or expanding in another state. The income can increase but what you should know is that the legal exposure of your business is also increasing.

Your business now has certain responsibilities.

Vendor agreement you had in place may not be appropriate when you have employees working in multiple cities. A casual conversation between founders can now lead to an issue between shareholders. Employees will create issues regarding employment. Customers can lead to data breach issues. More properties means you have to deal with rental agreements and licenses. Dealing with vendors for acquisition or business investment may also attract some rules.

Where does a corporate lawyer fit into the picture.

A corporate lawyer will ensure that all your business decisions are backed up with some kind of legal provision that protects you if ever there is a legal issue in the near future. The field of corporate lawyer can vary from company formation to contracts, compliance, business investment, employment, IP and other related matters.

At BK Singh Advocate we deal with businesses who may want some form of legal intervention in their business practices. We don't discourage our clients from taking business decisions. They will always come with risk. Our job as legal professionals is to ensure that those risks are within the range of acceptable risk. And you can manage those through contracts and legal intervention.

Timing is key while expanding your business.

Most companies only approach a lawyer when they receive a legal notice. By which time a bad contract was made, the employee took some proprietary information while leaving the company, investor issue was not resolved and now it became a bigger issue or maybe you have crossed the limit of some rule and didn't realise.

Better to take steps in advance.

Your company can be located anywhere in India whether it's Delhi, New Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Great Noida, Gurugram or Faridabad. Or Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata or Ahmedabad. These are few areas that come to mind when we think about businesses. Whatever the case may be. You should have some form of legal framework set in place when you decide to grow your business.

That is what a Corporate Law Firm will do for you. Manage the risk of your company.

How can legal risk increase your business?

When you grow your business you usually take on more employees. You may grow your client base and expand into new regions. Each one of these action can create legal obligations.

You may start out with just a few contracts but as your business grows you will encounter landlords, bank, investors, vendors. Staff etc. Each of these can create obligations to your business.

BK Singh Advocate will try and analyze any new responsibilities that will come into play when your business makes a decision to grow. Maybe you want to open a new branch or office. There will be some sort of legal requirements to be met. Or perhaps you are looking for an investor in your business. Then there will be changes in your shareholding. All you have to remember is that whatever you are doing with your business can create some form of responsibility towards someone.

As you grow you tend to lose visibility of your risk.

The founder who used to deal with each and every contract himself may have handed over that responsibility to his sales team. Or maybe he has hired some people to look after the employees. Someone is now dealing with all contracts for vendors. So many possibilities that can cause your company risk. It's not always bad but having someone who knows what your legal responsibility is can help you grow.
