Ask attorneys to refer you to articles, whitepapers and other information pieces that they or others in their firms have written about the kind of capitalization project that you are developing.

Ask attorneys to give you a list of items that your company must provide before they can finish their work on your capitalization project. In most instances, management teams will benefit by producing these information pieces before retaining an attorney. Attorneys who have a track record of helping clients achieve the best outcomes tend to have very detailed check lists of items that must be completed. Knowing about these items and understanding what it will take for your company to complete each required item before signing a retainer agreement is one way the decision makers on your team can create successful outcomes.
