How to Manage Your Lawyers

How to Manage Your Lawyers

Today we’re talking about how to manage your company’s external lawyers, particularly during critical moments like closing fundraising rounds or changes to your business structure.

1. Follow up

Most startup lawyers are extremely busy, so don’t hesitate to politely follow up and remind them of your pressing needs.

2. Do your part

Don’t let document requests linger in your inbox. You’re already going to experience frustrating delays, so don’t add to them.

3. Set expectations early

If you need something completed by a certain date, let your lawyers know as early as possible and secure their commitment. You can refer back to this deadline when you follow up.

Best of luck out there.
