Should I consult a business lawyer when starting a new business?

Prior to entering into any formal agreements, it is always a good idea to consult with a business lawyer. There is no one size fits all approach to purchasing and selling a business. Your business lawyer will guide you through the process from the letter of intent to the final closing of the transaction. Your business lawyer can assist you various matters, such as: completing important due diligence searches, identifying key terms of the transaction, and negotiating appropriate representations and warranties for the transaction.
