Why Your Lawyer Should Understand Your Business
The Business Advantage of Having a Lawyer Who Speaks Your Language
If your lawyer doesn’t know what an MSP, MVNO or VoIP provider is, you’re not just wasting time. You could be putting your business at risk.
In industries like IT, telecom and cloud, legal issues are rarely one-dimensional. Your contracts, compliance obligations, and revenue models are complex, so if your lawyer doesn’t understand the fundamentals of your business, you’re forced to spend billable hours explaining the basics – instead of getting real legal solutions.
That’s not just frustrating – it’s inefficient, expensive and potentially dangerous.
The Hidden Costs of a Lawyer Who Doesn’t Understand Your Business:
• Bad Contract Language: Generic terms that don’t reflect your SLAs, commission structures or liability concerns.
• Missed Risk Exposure: Failure to flag regulatory issues like FCC rules, privacy obligations or licensing requirements.
• Slow Turnaround: Every agreement becomes a back-and-forth education session instead of a quick review.
• Poor Negotiation: Legal counsel who can’t advocate effectively because they don’t understand your model or market pressures.
Work With a Lawyer Who Already Knows the Landscape
For over 25 years, I’ve worked exclusively in telecom, IT and cloud law. I’ve represented MSPs, VARs, VoIP providers, MVNOs, small businesses and large enterprises in:
• Master service agreements, partner contracts and supplier agreements
• Channel partner, vendor and agency contracts
• Resale, wholesale, white label and end user agreements and policies
• M&A, exit planning and business structuring
• FCC licensing and regulatory compliance
• Contract disputes and risk mitigation
There’s no onboarding process with me. No ramp time. Just strategic legal advice, grounded in your business model, from day one.
