Perhaps the most important question to ask is about the startup lawyer’s experience. You should ask them about what kind of experience they have and what their practice focuses on.

- What are your primary responsibilities and what falls outside of the scope?
- How long have you been practicing?
- What would you rate your skill level with this particular issue?
- What type of companies do you typically work with?

- Are you going to be my main point of contact? If so, how long should I expect your response time to be?
- Are you familiar with all of the incorporation procedures in that particular state?
- Do you have time to take on a new client?
- Do you have experience in dealing with employer liability laws if I decide to hire someone?
You should also find out what type of legal fees and costs are associated with the legal services that you need. There can never be too many questions asked about the price or cost of their services, so it’s important to learn as much as possible up front to avoid any surprises. Some common questions you should ask include:
- Are your rates hourly, contingent, capped, or deferred?
- Do you offer discounts for multiple hours per month and when should I expect an invoice?
- What is the preferred method of communication?
Lastly, you should ask about their network/connections.
