Your Current Counsel Helping or Hurting These Days?
On October 4, 2008

The
ABA Journal published an article this week about the current economy’s impact on the legal industry.
Their report highlights a paradox for large law firms, where associates are apparently under pressure to “bill more at a time when work is far more scarce.”
This begs a very important question for you if you run a construction business: Is your current counsel helping you organization these days, or hurting?
Over the past few weeks, Wolfe Law Group has published articles on its website stressing that the proper and judicious use of competent legal representation can help your business on a number of fronts in tough economic times: collections, risk and liability avoidance, creative contracting, etc.
However, if your firm is worried more about helping its own economically troubled situation, it’s not likely they are concerned about the interests of you or the construction industry as a whole.
Wolfe Law Group is fanatically focused on the construction industry and its clients. Read about our firm here – and contact us today to learn how we can be of value to your company.
