  • Transactions or litigation. A litigation attorney charges more than a transactional lawyer.
  • Region. A business lawyer in a big city will charge more than a business lawyer in a small town. For example, a business lawyer in San Francisco, Irvine, Los Angeles, and San Diego will cost more than a business lawyer in El Cajon, Riverside, or San Bernardino.
