How Do We Appoint a Lawyer for Our Company? Seeking Your Guidance

Dear Friends,

We are planning to appoint a lawyer for our company. Can you please tell me what the procedure is to appoint a lawyer?

Dear ektachakarvarti,

We are not a law firm; we are a software company. We need a lawyer to represent our company.

Thank you.

Contact corporate and commercial law firms in your city, and they will definitely connect you with a lawyer.

Dear Earlystar,

First of all, do you want to appoint a lawyer or a legal adviser for your company? Please be specific.

Dear Friend,

Since you are planning to engage an advocate/lawyer for your company, let us describe the role and responsibilities of this lawyer. If he is practicing in court, he cannot be an employee of your company. You can engage him as a consultant or adviser (not in a company role).

If you require any assistance, feel free to mail or call. I'll help you out.

Regards

Understanding the Purpose of Hiring a Lawyer

You must first know for what purpose a lawyer is needed. If you are required in a metro city, then it is even more crucial. There are specialist lawyers and even super specialists. Broadly, lawyers can be classified into two categories: one practicing on the civil side and another practicing on the criminal side.

Types of Civil Lawyers

On the civil side, it can be further classified, such as those who deal with property/land matters, commercial law practitioners, tax practitioners, labor law practitioners, trademark practitioners, etc.

Litigation vs. Non-Litigation Lawyers

You can also have lawyers who handle litigation and those who do not. Litigation lawyers will attend court cases and represent clients in court. Non-litigation lawyers will provide advice on the matter but will not attend court.

I hope this information is helpful to you.
