Proactive Business Counsel
How do you become proactive? By preventing problems so your company generates more enterprise value.
Our proactive business counsel can provide strategies that will ultimately save clients’ time and money by avoiding pitfalls which increases the value of your organization and provides a competitive advantage.
Your Business Counsel Provides Proactive Legal Function Management
When you own or run a company, it’s critical to retain a business attorney who provides proactive counsel. Unfortunately, clients often see legal services as an unnecessary cost because they do not perceive that service’s value when rendered. They don’t realize that although preventing a problem may not create immediately measurable results, the importance of prevention in the longterm cannot be overlooked.
Future problems like litigation, regulatory enforcement, and audit examinations are more costly to resolve without proper preparation, administration, and compliance measures in place. In fact, it is cheaper to prevent problems than to solve them later at perhaps a 10 to 1 ratio or more. In other words, it costs $1 to control but $10 to solve.
Since preventing problems creates more enterprise value than solving them, Spizzirri Law, L.L.C.’s mission is creating enterprise value through preparation and planning.

How a Business General Counsel Can Save Money, Enhance Value and Increase Your Competitive Advantage
At Spizzirri Law, L.L.C., our business general counsel is experienced in International Law, including Corporate Law and Business Litigation, and practices federal law throughout the United States.
Unfortunately, small and medium-sized businesses can easily find themselves in a bind when it comes to legal counsel. Since they are not yet ready to employ in-house counsel, management may be reluctant to consult outside legal advisors until a potentially expensive problem arises.
To deliver value, clients must readjust their processes. A proactive attorney will identify areas of potential concern and areas for growth and development. They will help their clients secure intellectual property and improve their trade secret protection so that they can maintain their competitive advantage, monetize those assets, and avoid being forced to litigate violations later. Clients should act now to avoid problems that will cost much more to fix later.

Consulting a Business Attorney for Corporate Needs
Starting and adequately running a company can be a legal nightmare without consulting a business attorney to help you with your corporate or partnership needs. Although they are not limited to this, a corporate law attorney offers legal counsel for the following practice areas:
- Asset protection
- Collections
- Commercial and securities litigation
- Commercial banking issues
- Contract drafting and review
- Corporate formations
- Corporate restructuring
- Corporate securities
- Intellectual property issues
- Labor and employment issues
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Partnership and shareholder disputes
Rather than reacting to a crisis, proactive business lawyers practice risk reduction and encourage proper time management to serve their needs better. This results in a more predictable cash flow and improved profitability to increase its enterprise value and reduce the cost of capital and the tax burden.
Litigation Support from an Experienced Business Lawyer
Often, companies consult a business lawyer for litigation when they would have been better off avoiding it in the first place. It’s an all-too-common scenario: A company has a $20-million contract with a subcontractor, and a dispute arises over a $500-thousand item in their agreement. Lawyers for the company litigate the dispute to the tune of $1.5-million in legal fees and pat themselves on the back when they win the case.
To deliver more value to a client, at Spizzirri Law, L.L.C., we do our best to get out ahead of the issues and endeavor to avoid litigation by turning adversity into opportunities to strengthen relationships. When that’s not possible, we are not afraid to litigate your case in court.
Some of the common aspects involved in business litigation include:
- Antitrust, unfair practices, and trade regulation violations
- Banking and creditor issues, including lender liability
- Breach of contract
- Breach of warranty
- Business torts
- Construction law
- Environmental law
- Insurance
- Intellectual property, including copyright and trademark infringement
- Partnership and shareholder disputes
- Products liability
- Professional liability
- Real estate
- Securities
- Toxic tort
Litigation is not always the right move and can often be avoided. Civil litigation distracts corporate officers from executing their strategic mission and rarely generates profitability in excess of profits derived from regular operations.
Although they have won (pending appeal), have they delivered value for the client when the legal fees are three-times more than the amount they recovered? Chances are, the work on that lucrative contract stopped during litigation, and relations have become strained between the company and vital potential partners on future projects.
