Experienced startup lawyers help your new business start on solid ground

The idea of finding and hiring a lawyer for your business startup can be daunting, but it can be crucial for success. The experienced commercial law attorneys of Niebler Pyzyk will guide you through the formation of your business entity in order to protect your personal liability and plan for a successful future.

If you are forming a business with one or more partners, it’s essential to clearly establish the ownership and equity rights (and expectations) of each person from the start. A business lawyer can help you get your startup off the ground in the Milwaukee area based on strong relationships and solid practices.

Why startups are smart to lawyer up

Do you need a lawyer to start a business? Technically, no. Should you consult an experienced business attorney to give your startup the best chance of succeeding? Absolutely.

The real value of working with a business attorney with your startup is knowing things are being done right. Money invested in knowledgeable legal counsel, in the beginning, can save your new business a great deal of money, time, and complications in the long run.

A business attorney can benefit and add value to your new business startup in several ways, including:

• Negotiations with venture capitalists
• Preparing documents for incorporation
• Understanding your business tax obligations while avoiding unnecessary tax liability
• Protecting your new business against lawsuits
• Asserting your rights if you need to make a legal claim
• Minimizing risks when hiring employees
• Negotiating and drafting business contracts with clients and suppliers
• Protecting intellectual property rights including federal and state law trademark rights, trade secrets, and patents.

Partnering with a business attorney means you can spend your time focusing on other aspects of your new business instead of learning about myriad legal issues and processes. The Niebler Pyzyk law firm has extensive experience in all areas of commercial law and can advise you on your legal priorities and appropriate first steps based on your specific situation.

Common questions about starting a business in Wisconsin

Our experienced business lawyers provide valuable advice for entrepreneurs starting a business in Milwaukee or elsewhere in Wisconsin. Most new businesses fail within the first five years, and having a solid legal foundation for your new enterprise can mitigate many risks not to mention save time and money as your small business grows.

What is the best legal structure for my business?

Typically when starting a new business people choose a:

• Sole proprietorship
• Partnership
• Limited liability company (LLC)
• Corporation

There is no single right or wrong answer for all startups. Though forming a corporation or limited liability company may cost more and is more complex (compared to a sole proprietorship) it can provide valuable protection to the owners’ personal assets and will allow the flexibility to bring in outside investors or secure the most favorable tax rates.

Our experienced business attorneys will explain the pros and cons of different business structures to help you determine what’s best for your business. Your first choice in legal structure isn’t necessarily permanent. As your business matures or changes, an experienced lawyer can advise you on converting to a different business form if necessary.

How can I start a small business online?

More and more entrepreneurs are choosing to start a business or a side business online. Starting a business online is very attractive because of typically lower startup costs, flexible hours, and the ability to work from any location.

However, just like with any new business venture, it’s extremely important to comply with all local, state, and federal laws to protect your online business and yourself.

Niebler Pyzyk's business formation services will address any questions or concerns you may have about starting a new business online and provide practical advice to protect your best interests.

How can I protect intellectual property in my startup?

Business startups can use copyrights, trademarks, and patents to prevent the competition from infringing on your IP rights. In most cases, entrepreneurs want to protect their business name, logo(s), software, and/or inventions.

New businesses are often driven by a new idea, process, or product – the key is making your new idea successful by protecting IP so your startup can grow and become profitable.

Can a lawyer help with startup financing?

Business startup lawyers can help entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of funding their new business successfully and legally formalizing financial arrangements.

There are several funding options open to new businesses including small business grants, loans, promissory notes, equity financing, and debt financing.

Whether you’re considering personal investment, commercial loans, government programs, business partners, or outside investors, our business lawyers will evaluate your situation and provide valuable legal advice. It’s crucial for new business owners to clearly understand not only the terms under which funding is received, but the operational, tax, and compliance requirements it may entail.

A startup lawyer can also assist with negotiating deals, drafting or reviewing contracts and loan transaction agreements, and compliance with all applicable laws.

What are the most common legal issues for startups?

There seems to be no end to the types of lawsuits filed against new and established businesses alike. The best way to protect yourself and your startup is to do everything possible to avoid involvement in a lawsuit from the beginning.

Typically the most frequent lawsuits involving startups come from customers, vendors, employees, or other businesses.

Founder disputes can happen when co-founders of new businesses work on business plans and develop ideas or products before legally forming a company and securing intellectual property protection.

Harassment and wrongful termination lawsuits are some of the most common for startups and small businesses, usually based on an alleged violation during the hiring or employment process.
