Corporate Lawyers Long Island Expand Their Practice Online

March 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Corporate lawyers on Long Island have discovered the Internet in a very big way.

Long Island attorneys have developed a deep affinity for the Internet. It provides an opportunity to showcase skills, demonstrate a track record of proficiency and present legal specialties in a detailed, explanatory and meaningful way.

Websites like http://www.corporatelegalhelpny.com from Ketover & Associates, LLC, a Garden City, Long Island, New York legal practice, are typical of this trend. As a highly successful and effective legal advocate, their practice encompasses a wide range of legal issues, including personal injury, divorce, family law, criminal matters, commercial transactions and commercial litigation. With the Internet, corporate lawyers Long Island like Ketover & Associates, LLC, now have the capability to state in more detail than traditional advertising how and why their counsel is valuable for consideration.

The traditional role of a corporate lawyer is to ensure the legality of commercial transactions, advising corporations on their legal rights and duties, including the duties and responsibilities of corporate officers. In order to do this, they must have knowledge of aspects of contract law, tax law, accounting, securities law, bankruptcy, intellectual property rights, licensing, zoning laws, and the laws specific to the business of the corporations that they work for.

Ketover & Associates, LLP, points out that the practice of corporate law is less adversarial than that of trial law. Attorneys for both sides of a commercial transaction are less opponents than facilitators. Transactions take place amongst peers. There are rarely wronged parties, underdogs, or inequities in the financial means of the participants. Corporate lawyers structure those transactions, draft documents, review agreements, negotiate deals, and attend meetings.

What areas of corporate law a corporate lawyer experiences depend from where the firm that he/she works for is, geographically, and how large it is. A small-town corporate lawyer in a small firm may deal in many short-term jobs such as drafting wills, divorce settlements, and real estate transactions, whereas a corporate lawyer in a large city firm may spend many months devoted to negotiating a single business transaction. A Long Island corporate lawyer might encounter a diversified range of legal situations emanating from small, medium and large businesses. Similarly, different firms may organize their subdivisions in different ways. Not all will include mergers and acquisitions under the umbrella of a corporate law division, for example.

Some corporate lawyers become partners in their firms. Others become in-house counsel for corporations. Others still migrate into other professions such as investment banking and teaching.
