Traditional law firms typically spend large amounts of money on fancy offices,  furniture and expensive suits.

Ask yourself these questions:

1) What benefit does a fancy office and expensive suit bring to you as the client?

2) Who ends up paying for these things?

The answers are pretty obvious. Unless you get a great sense of satisfaction meeting with a fancy lawyer in a fancy office, you're probably spending more than you have to by choosing a downtown lawyer.

Instead of focusing on the price of the office or quality of the suit, we suggest focusing on the quality of the legal advice and value you receive for your hard earned money. As a virtual law firm, we have no interest in marble floors, corner offices or fancy suits. Our sole focus is on providing value to our clients so that they can succeed in business. When our clients are successful, our business grows.  

Setting up a meeting with a traditional lawyer can be difficult. First, you'll need to contact the law firm. Second, they'll put you in touch with the lawyer's assistant who will take your information. If you're lucky, the assistant will check the lawyer's schedule and book a meeting at their downtown office. If you're not lucky, the assistant will let the lawyer know that you want to meet, and commence some back and forth e-mails to set up a meeting at a time that works for the lawyer. 

Once you have the meeting scheduled (likely a week or two later), you'll have to make time to drive to the lawyer's office, find parking, and then wait for the meeting to start. If the meeting starts on time, you'll start with some pleasantries, get a "free" coffee or water, and discuss your issue. The lawyer will obtain your instructions, and let you know how long it will take to prepare documents before another meeting is set up to sign (at which point you can book another meeting, take time off, find parking, and start the meeting process over again).

This works well for the lawyer, who bills by the minute, but takes a lot of time and energy on your part. It's also extremely inefficient, at least for you. 

When you work with a lawyer from All In Business Law, you can call or text your lawyer directly or book a meeting online. All correspondence will take place via phone, text, e-mail or video conference, so you'll never have to take time out of your busy schedule to travel to our office and meet with us in person at our convenience. 

When documents are ready for signing, we'll send them to you for electronic signature. All parties will receive a copy of signed documents via e-mail, and final documents will be stored in your electronic minute book, which is accessible 24 hours a day. 

Technology is making it easier than ever to work with your customers. Shouldn't the same be true for your lawyer?

Every corporation is required to keep and maintain a corporate minute book. Most lawyers continue to use physical minute books and paper share certificates. This means that when someone, such as your accountant, wants access to your corporation's records, the physical minute book needs to be shipped from your lawyer to your accountant and back again. Not only is this extremely innefficient, it can also lead to lost records and increased costs to you for the back and forth communications between professionals and shipping fees. This was fine in 1980 where there were no other options, but today it's just a waste of your time and money. 

All In Business Law has made the switch to digital minute books. This means that you AND your professional advisors have immediate access to the records of the corporation. No more unecessary shipping fees, lost minute books, or missing share certificates.
