When the business needs legal support
Hire a business lawyer for the issue you need to resolve
A business lawyer helps companies manage the legal aspects of business and contracts. At Lew Lex, you hire an external advisor for, for example, a new customer agreement, a negotiation with a supplier, or a dispute over what you have agreed upon.
The starting point is the transaction you want to complete or the problem you face. What conditions are important to you, what is unclear, and what do you need to be able to decide on? Describe the situation so it will be easier to narrow down the legal assistance you are seeking.
Are you going to sign or reply soon?
Please specify the date in your request. This is relevant both before a negotiation and if a counterparty is waiting for your response.
Do you recognize the situation?
When can a business lawyer be of use?
It is enough to describe the transaction and what feels unclear. Here are four common reasons to seek legal help.
01.
We have received an agreement to sign
The terms of the customer or the supplier need to be reviewed before you decide on the price, responsibilities and other commitments.
02.
We will negotiate the terms
You want to know which contractual issues you need to address and get support in formulating changes to the counterparty.
03.
We do not agree with a business partner
A requirement or different interpretations of the agreement affect the cooperation. You need help to assess how the issue can be handled.
04.
We want to change an existing collaboration
The circumstances have changed. You need to understand the existing agreement before discussing new terms or ending the relationship.

From unclear conditions to a basis for decision

01
What responsibility do we take?
What is the company expected to do, deliver, or pay under the agreement?
02
What needs to be clarified?
Are there any conditions that are unclear or difficult to fulfill in the business?
03
What do we want to negotiate about?
What changes do you need to discuss with the customer, the supplier, or the partner?
04
How do we take the issue forward?
Do you need a revised contract proposal, continued negotiation, or support in a conflict?

Common questions about hiring a business lawyer
Practical answers for those seeking help with a business agreement, a negotiation or a disagreement.
When should we contact a business lawyer?
Feel free to contact us when a contract proposal is to be discussed or before the company accepts new terms. You can also turn to Lew Lex if a question arises in an ongoing agreement or if the parties have become at odds.
Can you review a contract from our customer or supplier?
Yes, contract review is included in Lew Lex’s business legal offering. Please tell us what the agreement is about, whether it is a new collaboration or an amendment, and what specific conditions you would like help to assess.
Is it possible to get help with just one contractual term?
You can contact us if you have a specific question, such as a condition you don’t understand or want to renegotiate. Also describe the context, as a single wording may need to be read in conjunction with the rest of the agreement.
Can we get legal support during a negotiation?
Lew Lex offers support in contract negotiations. Describe what you and the other party have already agreed upon, which issues remain unresolved, and what support you are seeking in the ongoing discussion.
We interpret a contract differently – can you help us?
Lew Lex works with commercial disputes and negotiations. Start by describing what the disagreement concerns and whether you have received a claim or a deadline. The type of assistance that is appropriate needs to be assessed based on the circumstances.
How much does it cost to hire a business lawyer?
The cost depends on the scope of work involved. Describe what you need help with and request the scope and pricing terms in your contact with Lew Lex. This page does not provide a standard price for business legal services.
What do we need to describe when we contact you?
Provide the company, contact details, the type of business or agreement in question, and what you would like to proceed with. Also mention any deadline if applicable. Keep the description overall and wait for a response before sending contracts or other confidential documents.
Address your business question
What do you want legal help with?
Is it a contract proposal, a negotiation or a disagreement? Briefly describe the transaction, what support you are seeking and whether there is a date to take into account.
Keep your first description general. Do not send sensitive personal data, business secrets, or contracts via the form or regular email. Contact Lew Lex about how documents should be submitted.
