Instruction manual

1

Carry out the necessary studies confirming the need to open a law firm in your area. Make a business plan for the future company, to which be sure to attach a price list with a detailed description of services, copies of certificates confirming the qualifications of employees.

2

Depending on whether you intend to provide services to individuals or legal entities, register an IP or LLC. For registration, you will need a mandatory package of documents. Get a certificate of registration of IP / LLC, as well as OKVED / OKPO codes, register the organization’s seal in MCI, open an account with a bank.

3

In order to open a company specializing in legal consulting services, you do not need a license. In other cases, additional licenses are required (realtor, expert, lawyer). To get them, contact your local department of justice, an expert commission, a college of lawyers. But it is likely that in this case you will have to re-register your company in connection with the expansion of the range of services provided.

4

Find a suitable office space and rent it. It is desirable that the office is located in the business center of the city, despite the fact that the cost of renting the premises in this case will be much higher.

5

Purchase all necessary office equipment, stationery and furniture.

6

Hire staff. If you still do not have sufficient funds, attract young professionals who can be paid less than highly qualified lawyers, but you will get responsible and executive employees, without any complaints about the level of payment.

7

Place an advertisement about your company in the media and on the Internet. Be sure to indicate what kind of services you provide to the public or organizations.
