Commercial Law, When to Seek a Lawyer’s Advice


The law field is so vast that it’s difficult to study every legal detail. This is why many individual lawyers or law firms instead focus on just one aspect of the law. One of the most important types is commercial law, which encompasses everything related to commercial or business transactions. This is essential for those who want to learn about contracts, the rights of business owners, and how to run a business smoothly. If you are a business owner or simply need advice when you are filling out a contract, you will want to speak to a lawyer in this field.

It’s difficult to determine at times if you are in need of the help of a commercial lawyer. For example, if you are filling out routine contracts, then you might be able to complete these on your own, especially if you already have experience in this field. However, if you are new to the business world or are signing away rights to property, or are starting a new business, it makes sense to use the services of someone who is professionally trained in commercial law to ensure that the job is completed properly.

In real estate, commercial law is frequently used to determine if zoning rules and regulations are being followed, or if there are other issues that you should be aware of. Notary publics often study this discipline, and much of civil law at the government level falls under this umbrella as well. If you are in the middle of negotiations for any business related needs, or are unsure of what your rights are, then you will want to be sure that you have examined the issue from all sides before making any agreements or signing any papers. Larger businesses also should keep a lawyer on retainer for any legal issues that may arise in drawing up paperwork.

When you are searching for the best lawyer or simply for legal advice regarding the basics of commercial law, there are a few factors to take into consideration. Many lawyers will let you go in for a consultation for free or a very low price, which can give you some indication of what to expect. Be sure to ask about lawyer fees and experience up front, so that you can compare and contrast services around town. This will help you to get in contact with the best lawyers for your needs.

    The Difference Is In Our Level Of Experience Defending The Most Difficult Cases & Our Rigorous Approach To Each Matter


    • I have known Brett Samuel and Rosendorff Lawyers for over 18 months. Brett is a commercially astute lawyer who provides excellent service, quick turnaround, responsive and useful advice and above all understands that clients expect results not just legal gobbledygook.

      I have referred Brett to a number of clients requiring commercial legal expertise and each has commented on his service and value for money approach to the law.

      I have also personally engaged Brett on a number of commercial and private matters and have found him to be an excellent ally. His advice is highlighted by providing options to the client but importantly, recommending a course of action that minimises risk and maximises outcomes. To date this approach has proven to be very valuable and what I, as a client, expects.

      I have no hesitation in recommending Brett for any commercial matter that you need advice on.
