Join California lawyer and author of the 'Ask a Lawyer' book series Steve Strauss as he answers your small business questions. Selected questions and answers will be posted weekly. My problem is in finding a business lawyer that has expertise and experience with the Internet or high-tech in general. Most lawyers claim that they have such experience just because they know how to navigate a web browser. I don't even know where to start.
Intellectual property is things like patents, copyrights and trademarks.
These lawyers will also be well-versed in the minutiae of contracts, litigation, business disputes, etc. I suggest that you get an intellectual property lawyer as opposed to a basic business lawyer because law revolving around the Internet is mostly intellectual property law. I think the best way to find a good lawyer, of any type, is through a satisfied customer. A referral will tell you far more about a lawyer than a dozen television ads. Results are what count.
