BUSINESS LAW: A MANAGEMENT TOOL
Business owners want to work with professionals who themselves demonstrate entrepreneurial thinking. They especially want to be advised by lawyers who understand business – business lawyers who contribute to their clients’ growth, lawyers who treat the law like a management tool.
Force-Legal’s founder, Serge L. Girard, has long understood what today’s businesses are looking for. He is not only seasoned business law practitioner, but he is also a manager who holds an MBA and has acquired a wealth of experience as a company managing director.
Force-Legal was created to provide high-quality legal services close to our client’s place of business. The business law firm’s mission is to help business owners carry out their business projects. Force-Legal business lawyers provide entrepreneurs, boards of directors and directors of organizations of various sizes relevant advice with respect to corporate law, commercial law, labour law and other areas of business law. Force-Legal team members implement strategies and deploy tools to lower their clients’ litigation exposure and enable them, in any conflict, to come out a winner.
VALUES
Force-Legal business lawyers are driven by their desire to participate in the growth of the companies they advise. Teamwork is innate to them. To develop optimal strategies for their clients, Force-Legal business lawyers gladly work with the latter’s other advisers: accountants, tax specialists, consultants, etc. Knowing that the law is a management tool, Force-Legal business lawyers focus on their clients’ commercial and strategic interests. They can thereby guide businesses along the path that offers the best chances for success so they can achieve their business goals.
STYLE
Force-Legal’s approach is based on two facts:
- Delays kill deals.
- Surprises kill deals.
The members of our business law firm are thus committed to having a thorough knowledge of their files and to communicating constructively. Preparation and prevention facilitate the attaining of our clients’ business objectives. And our clients understand this. This is why they call upon our team at the project stage, without waiting for problems.
The Force-Legal team also knows that beyond negotiating a contract, there is a business relationship to be built between its clients and their business partners. In addition, the team knows that when a conflict arises, winning an argument is not always the main goal and that there is often a business relationship to preserve.
Force-Legal business lawyers therefore know how to balance combativeness and pragmatism. While they don’t fear a confrontation, they avoid being antagonistic simply for the satisfaction of winning. At Force-Legal, the accent is thus on competency and finding solutions, rather than on intimidation and procedural jousting.
For Force-Legal, success is not about winning a debate but, rather, about helping our clients expand their business.
