Legal advice - adding value to your business

At Hutchinson Legal, we know from experience that there is a better way of achieving the best outcomes for our clients.  Grant Hutchinson, the Managing Partner with forty (40) years of experience in law, has played a pivotal role in guiding a number of businesses in their ongoing success. “We understand that business operators need to control costs, and legal advice can seem like an overhead you can’t afford”, he says.

 

The key is developing a strategic partnership with your lawyer beyond transactional interactions.  Legal services need not break the bank, and business operators can do several things to ensure that services are provided in a cost-effective manner.

 

Strong communication serves as the foundation of any successful partnership. Business operators should articulate their objectives, risk tolerance, and preferred communication channels from the outset. A solid foundation for collaboration is established by aligning expectations and fostering transparency. 

 

Prevention is better than cure, especially in legal matters. Regular legal audits and proactive risk assessments can help identify potential pitfalls before they escalate into costly disputes. By staying ahead of the curve, businesses can mitigate risks and safeguard their interests effectively. 

 

Grant reinforces, “Preparation is essential when engaging in legal services. Gather relevant documentation, the outline of objectives and concerns, and identify decision-makers within your business to ensure productive and focused meetings. 

 

“Successful business treat their legal budget as an investment, not simply an expense to be tolerated.”
