Having a go-to attorney was a big help. When I started working at my family’s construction company we had a 1 page contract that didn’t protect the company nor the client and didn’t meet the requirements of the State. At first we hired Tim to help us create a new contract. To our surprise our clients didn’t balk at the longer contract; instead they saw it as a reassurance of our professionalism. From there we started relying on him to review our client’s requests for changes and any contracts we signed. His explanations were thorough and his recommendations were pro-business. Over the years we learned what to look out for and when we would need to reach out to our on-call general counsel.
