How can a business attorney help my small business?
A business attorney helps you avoid mistakes and disputes by setting up the right legal foundation from the start. They ensure contracts are enforceable, compliance requirements are met, and risks are minimized. Without counsel, small businesses often face costly problems that could have been prevented. At Naumann & Associates, we help clients build a solid structure so they can focus on growth.
Do I need a lawyer to start an LLC in Illinois?
While the state allows you to file LLC paperwork on your own, an attorney ensures you select the right structure and draft essential documents like operating agreements. These documents set the rules for how your business will run and prevent future disputes between owners. A lawyer also ensures compliance with state licensing and tax registration requirements. With professional guidance, you can start with confidence and avoid future setbacks.
What kinds of contracts do you handle?
We draft and review a wide range of contracts, including service agreements, vendor contracts, partnership agreements, NDAs, and purchase or sale agreements for businesses. Clear contracts protect you from misunderstandings and provide enforceable terms in the event of a dispute. Our attorneys tailor each contract to your company’s specific needs. Businesses across Elk Grove Village and Cook County rely on us for this critical protection.
Do you represent nonprofits and charities?
Yes. Our firm has a strong focus on not-for-profit law, assisting with everything from formation and 501(c)(3) filings to ongoing compliance and governance. We regularly advise churches, schools, and community organizations across the northwest suburbs. Nonprofit leaders trust us to help them navigate regulations so they can focus on their mission.
How much does it cost to hire a business attorney?
Costs depend on the complexity of the service, but we strive to keep fees transparent and predictable. Many services, such as business formation or contract drafting, are offered at flat rates. This makes it easier for small businesses to budget legal expenses. During an initial consultation, we’ll outline your options clearly so there are no surprises.
