Do startups need lawyers as legal advisers?

Start-ups should have legal advisers. In fact, the most difficult thing is that in the initial stage of the company, many legal problems will be encountered, such as how to choose the company structure: joint stock limited companies, limited liability companies, and even partnerships and individual industrial and commercial households are all possible choices, which one is more suitable? For another example, how to arrange the company's capital contribution structure (equity structure) is more reasonable? Is the company's capital contribution only pure currency or land, factory buildings, intellectual property rights and even labor services? Many entrepreneurs don't understand the real meaning behind these different options. Make a casual choice, and you may have to pay a much greater price to make up for it later. Just give a chestnut, take capital contribution as an example. Suppose the company only accepts pure monetary investment. If a founder promises to invest 200,000 yuan, but can only invest 50,000 yuan or100,000 yuan, what should be done with the remaining vacancy? Is it to reduce capital or let other founders make up? If the capital is reduced, will it have a negative impact on the company's reputation (others may think that the company's operating conditions are not good before reducing capital); If other founders fill it out, will other founders have enough money? If the company allows non-monetary investment, take land investment as an example, the land income will gradually appear in the future, but the deed tax of transfer registration will soon be paid. This money may not be small. How to solve it? If you invest in intellectual property rights, who will measure the value of intellectual property rights, and will anyone feel cheated? So any problem needs to be considered a lot, and it is very complicated, and it needs to be "personal tailor" according to the situation of the startup company.
