Lawyers are different. Industry & business focused lawyers vs. matrimonial, criminal, personal injury and other attorneys
Hire the lawyer who is the right fit for the task
Recruit your legal advisors with experience in business, corporate, securities regulations, and intellectual property
Make sure your attorney explains your options and expected costs/benefits up front
Ask your attorney to prioritize items of the proposed legal work
Ask how your account will be staffed
Pay attention to cultural fit
Ask whether a lawyer has resources you need or will need soon
Hire the lawyer who has result-oriented and value-generating approach. Results are the only thing that matters; you do not want surprises down the road.
