Asking for help can often be the most difficult decision a
business owner has to make.
It can also be the best decision they will ever make, according
to local legal professionals who say, like any adviser, a lawyer
can help mitigate potential problems before they become full-on
catastrophes.
"In general, it's easier to sort things out before and
not after the fact," says Ted Coderre, barrister and solicitor
with the Small Business Legal Centre, offering specialized legal
and business advisory services to small enterprises in and around
the Calgary area.
"Yet in legal matters, it's pretty much exponential.
The cost and risk of sorting out a problem that's already
occurred is usually exponentially higher than it is if addressed at
the outset."
