How do emerging and maturing businesses procure legal services?

Yes, some businesses retain lawyers for a fixed amount per month, it's called putting the atty on retainer.  In my experience, retainer agreements are most common where there is an established relationship -- where the company has been working for the atty for a while, so the atty can figure roughly how much work the client needs per month, and there is established trust between both sides.  But that doesn't mean it couldn't work with an atty you haven't worked with before, you'd just need some of the basics agreed upon beforehand.\n\nThere is no set amount or set approach; areas of negotiation are, (i) the amount of the fee, (ii) how many hours maximum will the atty be required to put in per month (it wouldn't be fair for him or her to get $500 and then be expected to give you 20 hours of work), and (ii) if you don't use the atty or use the atty minimally in a given month, do you get a credit against next month's retainer?\n\nLet me add something that I'm sure will rub some of my colleagues the wrong way, although I think there is growing acceptance of this idea....  Legal services for small companies are largely becoming commoditized.  There are a lot (I don't know if too many, but a lot) of lawyers now, and information (which in the end, is one of the few things a lawyer really has to offer) is just so widely available to everyone over the internet.  What this means is, there will probably more acceptance to your proposition than there would have been, say, 10-15 years ago.

Lots of things.  Many companys need contracts that can be enforced in a variety of countries.  International lawyers pick the law that will apply to the contract and write the contract according to that law.  International Lawyers draft treaties and negotiate international loans.  It can be dull at times but some of it is very neat.

I assume you can start at any age. Please check with your local government office (business license). They will tell you exactly what you need to have a legal business license. One of them will probably be your driver's license. However, you can have you parents register the company and you run it for now even if you cannot register yourself. \n\nGood luck, my friend!

The accountants work with the lawyers to complete the contracts and provide any financial summeries etc that may be required (especially if the company is public).

Ask somebody in the business.  They'll probably give you one.  Remember they want your future business.

The typical process is coming up with the valuation of the firm to be purchased and securing the financing for the purchaser and everything that goes with facilitating both.

First, you have to have something that someone wants, like an operating system when no other operating system is available. Then, you get a good lawyer to invent a way of charging for every installation of that operating system on computers that would have SOME kind of operating system anyway, so you have to make sure that the company selling the computers has a reputation which is impeccable and all the dummies buying their equipment are totally dependent on ONE style of doing things.\nOnce you establish a dependency in the business world, then you can branch out to employees and their friends, who all want to do what their peers are doing, regardless of how poor the quality is, or how much time they spend on upgrades and rebooting their computers. \nIn other words, you have to learn to convert people's lives and time into cashflow through a lawyer. Or just hold their livelihoods as hostages via an entrenched dogmatic system of purchasing agents and accountants who won't let you change how businesses use information technology.

you start by drawing up a professional business plan.

Begin with an business plan with an 3 to 5 year projection that covers your forseeable expenses of total operation cost of your desired business for example wages, rent or lease of property, insurance ,legal fees, advertisment cost , etc and it helps to either have some prior experience or education but sort after an mentor who can be a spiritual / business guide for you because you can expect some bumpy roads ahead!

Process serving is still a good business, but the trend is away from personal service to certified mail, so how long it will be good is an open question. Find a city or town that seems to have few process-servers. Get to know the lawyers and law firms that do a lot of litigating and target them for your marketing.\n\nSkip-tracing ranges from easy to impossible. Most are somewhere in between. Often it is as simple as sending a letter to the last known address with a request for forwarding information on the envelope. If the person left no forwarding address, you can often find them by using a credit reporting bureau, either through a service or by becoming a member of at least one of the 3 major credit reporting bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion and Experian).\n\nAfter that, it's a lot tougher. It helps to have contacts in police departments, state child support enforcement agencies and similar people who have access to databases you don't have as a member of the public.\n\nThen it's a matter of psychology. People usually do what they are used to, so people who hang out in bars will be found in bars. Searching the internet may find a blog or a bewspaper story about someone, or a posting somewhere.

Incubate user-centric e-business.\n\nHere's how to become a pro.

Get a Web Page and a Domain name; they are inexpensive. Describe yourself in a bio with your areas of spoecialty. Pick a Speciality area/matters that you truly specialize in, in the state you have your JD.  Get an on-line payment form established with Visa, MC or Paypal.  "family-related matters" is too general-divorce? probate?  Look up areas where there seem to be a lot of folks listed, and there is the money/demand.  I used an online directory recently to obtain legal advice (at least I assumed it was!) for $50.00 for 15 minutes on a specific matter; unlawful detainer.\n\nGet listed on the Search engines-a good domain register company can do that for you for a small fee.\n\nYou can also try to get listed in existing online attorney referral agencies to the same end.\n\nGet affiliate partners in law that are currently on the net.\n\nNow, for all this marketing advice, what area do specialize in that maybe I could get a few minutes of advice about?
