Your Business Attorneys questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does a business attorney cost?

A business attorney typically charges $150 to $500 per hour, depending on the location, their experience level, and the complexity of the case. Some business attorneys charge a flat fee of $200 to $2,000 for certain services like reviewing contracts or forming an LLC.

Other attorneys charge a retainer fee, which is similar to a down payment on future services. Having an attorney on retainer is expensive but useful when unexpected issues arise.

What does a business attorney do?

A business attorney, also known as a corporate or commercial attorney, specializes in any issue that affects a business. This includes taxes, intellectual property, and business creation. Common duties include:
