Business Plan: Be clear who your potential customers and develop a plan to attract them (marketing and sales plan).

How to facilitate new service contract? Increase your contacts list. Keep track of the business press, meet the needs of business, personalize their service offerings for them and visit them without pressing. Faced with a customized offer, the decoding of our message by the potential customer is clear: “This office has been concerned to know and understand my needs.

Actively participate in trade fairs and conferences enabling him to more potential customers. Divide the work among its members. Participate actively in an association. This participation should be consistent with your personal strategy and release. Think. If for example belongs to an association of young lawyers, so use it: to devote part of their time to the advancement of the profession, also dedicate yourself to create, for example, an international network of contacts between young lawyers’ offices.

Contacts: Contacts are essential in the business world. But beware: it is necessary to help you convey the image you want to convey.

For example, one of my clients is a lawyer for a newspaper. When participating in business meetings with the media and businessmen, was presented by the media as “The newspaper’s lawyer.” What was the problem? My client untapped potential business opportunities, since employers could begin to imagine that even worked as a clerk, staff attorney in the newspaper. I commented to my client that submitted as follows: “a member of X, a law firm and able to assist companies to internationalize. Furthermore, our legal counsel. ”

The message is very different and opens doors to new customers.

Customers: Remember to customers. There are professional firms who only remember when they receive from those paying the fee equals or periodically. It is the best way to be lost. Follow up: be at least fortnightly contact with customers. Send them articles of interest, ask about your satisfaction, praise her for her birthday, invite them to events that you know will be interested in attending, seminar exclusively for clients and acquaintances, and so on. Select “responsible for customers.” Your goal should not be selling both legal services and consolidate the relationship of trust with customers.

The offer should be different from competitors, but attention, by offering not only understand the range of services (always reproducible), but the concept and image of the office, technical and relational quality of the lawyers and the service provided to client customized.

The market research: The world is full of conquerors who seek to change others, when the first thing to do is to change or improve yourself. If you improve, start to find new results. Therefore, the epicenter of its market is you and your office. It is essential that you know your strengths and areas for improvement. Ask your partner how you’re perceived. Enhance your personal brand on the basis of their virtues or strengths.

The professional profile – In a hypercompetitive world, the most valued profile is lawyer-consultant, ie a lawyer to help the customer oriented and able to detect the needs of their customers and even to anticipate them. An attorney with business profile, a professional who brings value to the customer.

The image: We are an image. Until we know, for people are a picture: pleasant, reliable, capable, smart, nasty, and so on. They are therefore very important first impressions when formed perceptions. Watch your language verbal and gestural detail. Language creates perception, the door of business.

Fees: Anyone can compete on lower fees. You should be able to provide a service that justifies the fees in line with the capacity of professionals. To achieve this, understands well the needs of customers, more valórese, gain brand and give clients a bespoke service.

Partners: Choose your partners with professional criteria, not just friendship or interpersonal harmony. Partner with professionals that will complement not only skills (specialty) but also and above all attitudes.

Consultants or suppliers: Select according to their quality, not taking the price as a basic criterion. Treat them with respect, as well as their best customers. A quality provider will save you time, trouble and add value to your brand.

Projects: Since the beginning of your career, in addition to performing tasks (impulse of cases) concentrate on projects, ie, to be referenced in any market. Focusing on projects involving our clients choose to work for it, strive to live the life you want to live.

Experience:
The talent knows no age. Youth can be a source of opportunity. The main opportunity for young lawyers is that they do not usually have so many prejudices and some elders. Limiting preconceived opinions in the world of business. What is experience? It is the ability to learn from the life of each customer case. This capacity depends on oneself, rather than age. To think that a veteran lawyer is an expert just by age is absurd and mental self-limitation for young lawyers.

Park your fear, your another potential barrier paper. The ability to think big costs no money and only those who think big find opportunities. Think big computing well as investing their money and their time. If you have good values, that no one will “steal” their dreams. The first steps

The first steps
Imagine a young graduate who has been trained in legal practice and decided to join the profession. Usually the first thing that comes to mind is to try to join a firm or associate with others and open office. It is not essential. The key is to market its own strategy, a strategy defined, in writing, and opt for one of the above options.

Constantly update their knowledge and reflect, however, the following. Knowledge, while essential, no marketing strategy is not going to carry very far. As George Bernard Shaw said: “Those who can, do, those who can not, teach [" Those who can, do, those who can not give classes "].

Attitude:
The attitude is the foundation. To get new results, you should do different things. If not, the reason for his professional roof is yourself. Do not blame others. Learning to be stronger mentally, gain self-esteem is essential to make a name in the profession. Improving self-esteem, accepting oneself is basic to better sell legal services.

Admire:
Admire, not envy. For example, if you aspire to have a legal services company, the best we can do is admire the large law firms. Then you can learn from them. If you envy, you will lose energy unnecessarily.

Values:
What is it that different? The values and style. You must know explicitly their values, define and communicate.

Vision:
What is your vision? Want to be an alternative to law firms that support the internationalization of companies in your country? An example: For years I have built up an extensive international network of contacts, influential law firms and indigenous major international markets. These offices are ready to support European business associations and my clients in their international expansion. If I’ve done it, so can you. Having a direction (vision) is transcendental. His dreams (vision) are becoming reality at the time that the plasma in writing, defines objectives, strategies, actions, responsible for their achievement and a calendar.

In my life I have been fortunate to participate in endless negotiations. My role sometimes passes for counsel and sometimes by being part of the business in question. In these processes, I have had multiple lawyers to meet with colleagues.

In general, the first or second time I see them I can identify whether they are lawyers or attorneys tool obstacle.

Obstacle is the lawyer who sees problems, negotiate aggressively, ends with a poor relationship with his colleagues on the other side and sometimes even his own client, he understood business and tries to prove getting into commercial issues of negotiation, says if not it’s up and goes beyond what it should. In general they are colleagues who do not understand that their role is to advise, unlock and implement giving legal, but not show everything like a big problem impossible to solve, even “creating” problems where none exist to justify work or hours collectible.

This is the kind of lawyer I ever wanted not to be, and every time I start a negotiation not touch me I want the other side.

Counsel tool, however, is who really knows what is sitting in that chair. He is someone who accompanies the commentary of the existence of a problem with one or more possible solutions is limited to fulfill its function, using what you know not to do business inatinentes documents, but show no interest beyond the proper role to play , does everything possible because the business is done under the conditions that the parties wanted, without taking advantage or soiling negotiation. Who knows he is shorter and quickly finalize and sign the customer will be happier with the work and most will recommend to others.

The tool is a lawyer who tried to be in my profession, and whom I have the other side when a contract business.

We talked about the importance of legal advice in a venture, and should be seen as investment and insurance, and not as an expense.

My intention now is to have some legal advice it is important for any entrepreneur into account.

1) Hire a good lawyer.
And … yes, I must begin well, lest they think that is enough with these tips. The best advice I can give is to hire a good lawyer who understands the market in which they are operating. These tips will give you a basis to be understood as an agenda on how to talk to your lawyer, but not to dispense with his services.

2) Corporate Organization.
It is important to the papers neatly from the beginning. Especially if the idea is to seek funding. Although it seems more, plus the incorporation is advisable to sign a shareholders agreement to govern and secure coexistence today the possibility of some decisions tomorrow, such as dilution before a capital increase of income of a investor. “It is better to blush at first yellow later”.

3) legal protection of intangible assets.
The technology start-ups are creators of intangible assets. Since its brand, its design, code and maybe part of the technological solution they can be protected as intellectual property rights and their protection is very important to prevent further problems or the emergence of third-party copies. Also, if the company will build on technological development is important to analyze the possibility of obtaining a patent on this development. These alternatives ensure or increase, as appropriate, the value of the company, as always.

4) Firm contracts.
We all trust in people. We all believe that lawyers and contract negotiations seem to respond to the rhythm vetiginoso we do business. But it is a grave mistake to not capture the relationships in those contracts that address all aspects of the relationship. Many times when you go into detail required for the contract may or improve business or realize it would never work. If this happens, it will also set clear rules that allow the business to take its course smoothly.

5) Add to your workers.
This is essential for sleep. Internationally, the rules do not punish with fines registration workers who often can be quite onerous. Also, having people that came and help us build our project in the position it deserves, eliminates friction that might affect their performance. Finally, obviously the employees have not registered is an obstacle to investment.

6) Check the legality of your web
Although not created, there are rules that apply to the network. A page requires certain precautions and content. Not enough to copy the terms and conditions of a similar page and adapt “to eye”. Revision is needed that often must be conducted in parallel with developing the site, as some of the legal requirements can determine the forms or content owned the site.
