In this episode… Running a thriving business consists of many moving parts, especially for entrepreneurs starting, growing, or exiting a company. It's important to retain legal counsel to help protect the business no matter what stage your brand is in. Many entrepreneurs think a business attorney is unnecessary, but they are essential to help you mitigate risk and protect your interests. With over 30 years in the legal arena, Steven Weigler says that growing or selling an online business is complex enough, and getting sound legal advice is crucial. He also recommends hiring counsel to help with your governing documents, protect your brand from copycats and knockoffs, and increase its value during an exit. When you have adequate legal counsel with a background in business who has your interests in mind, business transitions will be much smoother, and you can proceed confidently. In this episode of the Quiet Light Podcast, Joe Valley sits down with Steven Weigler, the Founder and Managing Partner of EmergeCounsel, to discuss how entrepreneurs can legally prepare to grow or exit a business.
