What is the role of a corporate lawyer?
The role of a corporate lawyer is to advise clients on their rights, responsibilities and duties under the law, regarding their legal status.
When a corporation hires a corporate attorney, the attorney represents the legal entity, not its shareholders or employees. This can be a confusing concept to understand until you know that a corporation is actually treated like a person under the law.
A corporation is a legal entity that is created under state law, usually for the purpose of conducting business. A corporation is treated as a single entity or "person" under the law, separate from its owners or shareholders.
Corporate law includes all of the legal issues surrounding a corporation, which are many because corporations are subject to complex state and federal regulations. Most states require corporations to hold regular meetings, such as annual shareholder meetings, along with other requirements.
