As a business owner, your focus, time and energy, understandably, tends to be on perfecting (and scaling, or improving the profitability of) the goods and/or services you are supplying. You do not have the time to be across the increasingly complex legal rules, regulations and requirements that may apply to your business (nor are you likely to have time to “bone-up on” all the essential legal considerations and documents you should have covered for your business).
It is also true, and we see this time and time again (especially our dispute resolution and litigation team), that if you do not sort out the essential legal matters for your business (as soon as you can), the business owner is likely to pay for that oversight at some stage (and for some business owners, the mistake is devastating). Engaging with a good and experienced business lawyer will help to structure, and protect, your business, in order to give it every chance of thriving and surviving well into the future.
ALICE SKALSKI Commercial Lawyer
Running your own business is exciting. You may be a start-up business owner, with a grand vision for the future of your business (and the products, or services, that you would like to share with the world, domestically and then perhaps globally, at some stage). In the alternative, you could be a developer, or owner, of a large commercial and/or residential property portfolio, where you lease, or flip, properties for profit regularly. Or in the further alternative, you could be the CEO or managing director of a large organisation, where the need to remain competitive, and retain market share, is continually pressing.
Irrespective of the nature or size of your business, the need to address essential legal requirements, or the need to settle legal transactions, is inevitable and unavoidable. Engaging with a smart, commercial and experienced business lawyer is one of the best decisions that a business can make. Virtually nothing can be done in our society by a business today without giving rise to some legal considerations or triggering some form of legal compliance. And the old adages are absolutely true, “check it twice, but do it once”, and reduce everything to writing that should be reduced to writing.
The risk of doing nothing (or becoming wilfully blind to legal considerations) is not worth taking (as the damages, penalties or other relief that may be ordered against you, could be substantial, if not crippling). For example, if you wish to enforce a right to payment, or to assert any sort of right, or to invoke a clause to defend yourself against some allegations, then, it would be nice if you could refer to a written document from which you could assert, or argue, your position (whether to another business partner, a shareholder, an employee, a services provider, or a government authority, etc).

Running a business can be a lot of fun, and certainly rewarding. But it is also a plain and obvious truth that one cannot run a successful business, in today’s day and age, without turning their mind to the essential legal requirements that may affect their business specifically (and that generally affect all businesses alike). The risk of doing so, and learning the hard way (at the receiving end of a Court order, damages or a penalty award) is not worth it. Some businesses survive their mistakes, others do not. Engaging with a business lawyer to assist you and guide you through the many legal mazes, to ensure that your business is running with the law, not against it, and that you and your business are protected, is well worth it, and in our view, an essential requirement of any business.
Main Distinction – Partner on the Job, Not a Junior Lawyer
Alice’s practice model is not your typical law firm model (where the partner brings in the work for the junior lawyers to do). This can give rise to all sorts of quality assurance issues. Alice carries her files personally, bringing her depth of experience, expertise and skill to bear upon the work that is actually done on the files. If you retain Alice, then you get Alice (so that risks obvious to her, but not others, are avoided).
