Having the Right Attorneys Advise You

Most business owners don’t have lawyers in their inner circle and many do not even personally know lawyers. Seeing is believing. Black lawyers not only have the experience and legal knowledge to advocate and advise their business clients, but also possess a cultural competency that enhances their representation to Black business owners. Inevitably in business, situations will occur where legal advice is highly recommended in order to make the best informed business decision. As such, the Black business owner’s most needed and natural ally in business is a Black lawyer. During this workshop, participants will experience: ● Local lawyers who have practiced business law for years. ● Top business legal tips and insight for business owners to protect their product or service and reduce liability. ● Legal information every small business owner should know who wants to grow ● On the spot answers to urgent legal questions
