There are several important steps you must take when you are considering starting your own business.  While hiring an attorney is not necessary, it’s probably wise.  You will face a number of legal issues and you will probably feel that much more comfortable knowing that an experienced start-up attorney has your back.  Also, having a knowledgeable business formation attorney on your team will save you time and energy.  There are forms every new business must complete, and the smallest error means a delay for you in getting your new business up and running.  Avoid this potential nuisance with the help of Foresight Legal.

Ready to get started?  Great!  First step is writing up a business plan.  Be detailed and thorough, as your potential lenders will be reviewing it carefully.  The experienced attorneys at Foresight Legal can go over your business plan with you before you meet with banks about obtaining a small business loan.

So get to work on that business plan!  We will be back with information on how to choose the right legal structure for your business… A very important decision.  Be sure to check our blog regularly for small business updates!

FORESIGHT LEGAL GROUP & KRISTEN ANN LEGAL ANNOUNCE LEGAL PR PARTNERSHIP

Los Angeles, CA: Foresight Legal Group, P.C., led by Tom Martin, Attorney at Law, and Kristen Ann Legal, brainchild of Kristen Marquis, Attorney at Law, announce their exciting strategic alliance; one designed to bring Foresight Legal to the forefront of the new media world.

Foresight Legal is a progressive, online law firm that allows individuals to meet with experienced, knowledgeable attorneys from the comfort of their own home.  Understanding the importance the internet plays in the lives of many of his clients and potential clients, Tom realized it was time to use social media to capitalize on his unique business plan.  According to Tom, “my firm is a hybrid between the old and the new and I wanted my clients to feel comfortable knowing that I am on the cutting edge.”

Kristen Ann Legal came about when Kristen, herself an attorney, noticed that on almost an overwhelming level, lawyers and law firms were not taking advantage of the benefits a strategic social media plan can offer.   How a law firm could attempt to maneuver the competitive legal landscape without a blog, Facebook page, Twitter account, and/or strong LinkedIn presence was beyond Kristen.  Her solution?  Kristen Ann Legal.  Kristen is helping clients “build their online presence, thereby increasing their client base” one Tweet, post, and status update at a time!

Kristen and Tom are excited about their collaboration.  Believing Tom’s innovative and personalized approach to servicing clients online is “where the industry is heading,” Kristen is confident that she can position him as the forerunner in the online law firm arena.  Additionally, with Kristen’s experience and background, Tom knows that he has “placed Foresight Legal’s social media in the hands of a new media expert who understands my business plan and goals.”

The Mixer has grown to represent a powerful meeting of Los Angeles area chambers of commerce and local businesses representing hundreds of industries and companies in Southern California.

This year, over 3000 business people came together for this ultimate business networking event. Here’s a list of exhibitor’s, including Foresight.

The article, “When to Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth,” is about the potential downside to using joint tenancy as a way to avoid probate court. Here’s an excerpt:

“Sometimes looks can be deceiving.

Let’s say you own your home free and clear and would like to leave it to your two children. You’ve heard people talk about the need to avoid “probate” and you figure the best and cheapest way to avoid it is to simply add your kids to the title as joint tenants with rights of
survivorship.

That way, when you pass, your home will go directly to your kids without the need for probate. Pretty good solution, and with no need to pay an attorney for expensive advice, right? Wrong.” Click on the link above to read the whole article.

The magazine has a wonderful directory of services for seniors, everything from the local farmer’s market to volunteer programs to meals on wheels. Check it out at a newstand near you!

Foresight Legal supports the Long Beach Post, an independent media organization that provides commentary, original news and sports coverage on local, statewide, national and international issues impacting Long Beach, California. The Long Beach Post is challenging older, more established traditional media like the Long Beach Press Telegram and the Grunion and Downtown Gazettes for readers and we are proud to be associated with it. Check out our ad on the Long Beach News pages.

It has a lot of heart and perfectly captures the emotion of love, family and friends. In short, the very things I feel my services involving estate planning are meant to protect.

Watch and enjoy!
