I want to find a lawyer to be the corporate counsel of our company. How can I find one?

Based on my own experience in providing legal services for enterprises, I express my views on how to find a lawyer to be an enterprise legal adviser:

Common legal risks are as follows:

1, labor disputes, nip in the bud. Lawyers should help enterprises improve human resource management, especially the expenses of industrial injury compensation and economic compensation should be avoided as much as possible to avoid big losses.

2, the contract specification, serving the transaction. The purpose of the contract is to bind both parties to the transaction, but in my opinion, the lawyer's contract service should first uphold the principle of promoting cooperation, avoid rigid modification of the contract, and give full play to the ability of legal and commercial services as much as possible. For example, when I help enterprises negotiate and review contracts, I basically ask the basic information of both parties in detail and give the best legal advice according to the specific situation in trading places.

3. Design the ownership structure and make long-term planning for the enterprise. Equity is the foundation of enterprise development, and formulating the equity structure in line with the enterprise's own situation is the cornerstone of enterprise's long-term stability.

4. Intellectual property services. For some enterprises, it is necessary to plan the layout of intellectual property rights, patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, and we must plan ahead.

The role of lawyer should include the role of business negotiation and strategist. Personally, I serve the enterprise and always define myself as the brain trust of the enterprise boss. I will give my own solutions to the problems in the enterprise, not limited to legal issues, and I am still very confident about this. Basically, my opinions, including legal opinions and business opinions, will never appear amateur.

6. Lawyers should have litigation experience. A good legal adviser must be a litigator, which is the premise. Of course, this is not to urge enterprises to go to court. On the contrary, this condition is precisely to avoid corporate litigation. It is impossible for a lawyer who does not engage in litigation to provide realistic legal solutions for enterprises. Because once you realize all the legal risks of an enterprise, it is very likely that litigation is the ultimate solution, so lawyers with litigation experience can provide genuine legal services and provide how to solve problems without litigation, even if they can solve problems better through litigation. Lawyers who only do non-litigation business just need to listen.

7. To be a problem-solving lawyer, your business skills should be comprehensive. Because the needs of enterprises are diverse, today is an economic dispute, tomorrow is a labor problem, and the day after tomorrow is the risk of equity and intellectual property rights. Therefore, lawyers must have rich problem-solving skills. This requires a lawyer's business scope to be relatively extensive. At the same time, business owners should not be too obsessed with specialization. What matters is the lawyer himself.

6. Provide efficient and efficient legal services. Lawyers must provide solutions to problems at the first time. As an enterprise, the execution must keep up, and lawyers should do their duty no matter how busy they are.

The enterprises and business owners I serve are relatively trustworthy, and I have always adhered to my own service standards, providing the best legal and commercial services for the development and market development of enterprises while avoiding losses.
