You want to keep your A$$ out of trouble.

All ventures, big and small, face some form of a legal risk. Whether you realize it or not, the business of contracting is on the riskier end of the spectrum.

You put thousands of hours of work and millions of dollars every year into growing your company in the pursuit of growth. To do all of that on a shaky legal foundation is like building your dream home on sand.

Because of this, Smart entrepreneurs put effort and money behind proactive, preventative legal work. So they can feel confident that the effort and money they are putting in is working to build something that will last.
