Many of my clients are entrepreneurs in the startup and growth phases of running their businesses,” explained attorney Angela Forss Schmit, partner at Koukol Johnson Schmit & Milone. Angela helps new businesses start off on the right foot and works with existing businesses that have encountered problems with clients, vendors, employees, or contractors.
“I work with clients to build a strong legal foundation in their business to prevent a lawsuit,” Angela explained, “but I usually tell people, ‘As your business grows, it’s not if you’ll get sued, but when you’ll get sued, so let’s make sure you’re in legal compliance and engaging in best business practices so that you and your business are protected in the event of a dispute.”
As an experienced business and employment attorney, Angela works with business owners in a variety of fields, with a focus on helping creative service providers. “I have many clients in personal and professional development, including life coaches, business coaches, and health coaches. They provide unique and impactful services, whether it’s one-on-one coaching, group coaching, or retreats, and each one of those warrants a different type of agreement to make sure all parties understand the expectations and boundaries. My goal is to be the go-to attorney in the coaching and consulting industry and to continue to build my legal practice to encompass other areas of interest, including Entertainment Law
and Adoption.”
