The Role of the Business Organizations Paralegal

Paralegals are involved in every aspect of business organizations. A paralegal might interview a new client to obtain information about the best form of business organization for that client. Paralegals are often assigned the responsibility of drafting partnership agreements or articles of incorporation and assuring the proper filing of these documents after approval by the supervising lawyer. As the business operates, a paralegal might be called on to draft changes in the business structure or to review proposed activities of management. Many businesses must comply with governmental regulations governing reporting, licensing, and payment of fees. Assuring compliance with these requirements is often delegated to paralegals. In the case of the termination of a business, the paralegal might be asked to determine the requirements for dissolution and to oversee the liquidation and distribution of assets.
