When interviewing a business attorney, it is important to ask the right questions in order to ensure that you are choosing the best person for your needs. One key question to ask is about their experience working with businesses similar to yours. According to an article by Forbes, "A lawyer who has worked with other businesses in your industry may have a better understanding of how your company operates and what legal issues are most likely to arise." Additionally, asking about their communication style and availability can help ensure that you will be able to effectively communicate throughout the process. It's also important to discuss fees upfront and understand how they bill for their services.

The American Bar Association suggests discussing whether they charge hourly or flat rates, if there are any retainer fees required, and if there are any additional costs such as court filing fees or expenses for expert witnesses. By asking these types of questions during an interview with a business attorney, you can make sure that you choose someone who not only understands your specific needs but also fits within your budget constraints.
