If you can help to keep your clients stay out of court, clients will look to you as a trusted legal advisor that they can turn to for proactive legal advice and counseling - and not just the person to call once they've been sued. Transactional attorneys, nonprofit attorneys and in-house counsel can definitely benefit from this proposition by knowing the key facets of their client's businesses and making sure their legal liabilities are accounted for and properly addressed. Even immigration attorneys with international clients can serve as a valuable resource to clients coming to America on investor visas by assisting with their client's with basic counseling on starting and running a business.
