Introduction Every business requires the assistance of lawyer at least occasionally, to draft and review contracts specific to the business, to counsel owners and managers regarding employer-employee relations, to defend against lawsuits or threatened lawsuits, to assert and prosecute claims against non-paying customers or non-performing vendors, to render tax advice, and to monitor compliance with any applicable federal, state, and local statutes, rules, and regulations. Large businesses can generally afford to retain large firms for these purposes. However, smaller businesses may not be able to pay the rates charged by large firms for routine legal tasks.
