Why You Want an Attorney to Help You Set Up an LLC in Texas

The Benefits of Hiring Legal Counsel over Doing It Yourself

You’ve decided to become your own boss and need to set your business up with the state of Texas. You’ve done a little research and believe that a limited liability company, or LLC, will best suit your needs. There are countless websites online where you can go and fill in the blanks, provide a credit card and put you LLC in place. Is that a good idea? What are the good reasons for retaining an experienced lawyer to take you through the process?

How an Attorney Can Improve the Process of Setting of an LLC

When you’re establishing a new business entity, you want to take great care from the very beginning, so that you don’t make decisions or take steps that will either hamper you or cost you money in the long run. A knowledgeable business law attorney will:

• Help you see the big picture from the get-go—When you’re starting a new enterprise, filing the necessary documents with the state can seem like a formality. It has the potential, though, to be far more complex than that. An experienced lawyer can help you fully understand the potential risks and challenges, and often make recommendations that minimize or avoid future problems.
• Ensure that your filings comply with Texas law—It could be something as simple as the name of your business. It may not have required language or it may conflict with the name of an existing business. Your lawyer can address these potential concerns.
• Give you another set of eyes—Though the initial documents can seem straightforward, simple omissions or errors can have serious consequences. Your attorney will help ensure that you’ve clearly identified all parties, their responsibilities, and your methods for making business decisions moving forward.
• Make certain you protect any intellectual property—Patents, trademarks and copyrights can be a key component of your success. Before you put an LLC in place, you want to know that you’ve taken appropriate measures to eliminate or minimize the likelihood of infringement.
