Viable Business Solutions, Alternatives or Work-Arounds The Firm’s experience has shown that attorneys are generally welcome as part of the business team when they continually offer viable solutions, alternatives and work-arounds that are meaningful and of value to the business. Too often attorneys are seen as gate-keepers or police officers and are avoided because they advise only the most conservative, least risky course of action. Attorneys at the Firm feel their job is to listen and probe to: 1. Make sure that they fully understand the objective to be achieved 2. Research the necessary background to make informed judgments 3. Present/discuss the options and the associated risks so that a meaningful informed business decision can be made. Part of the business team, not part of the clean-up team Attorneys at Edwin A. Sisson, Attorney at Law, LLC believe that legal resources should be used as part of the daily business plan, not a resource called upon only when things go bad. However, an attorney must earn the right to be part of the business team. Attorneys at the Firm realize that this right is like respect; it is earned every day and can be lost in an instant. We believe that Attorneys at the Firm earn this right daily, as it is not uncommon for an attorney at the Firm to attend customer board meetings, quarterly and monthly research reviews, and even weekly management staff meetings. These customers benefit from having the frequent updates and immediate access to the legal input and the attorneys benefit from having a broader understanding of the customer’s business plan and objectives. The overall efficiencies of that arrangement far outweigh the expenses to either party. |
