Many of us have been watching the situation involving the University of Michigan’s head football coach unfold over the past several days. By public reporting, the issue appears to have first surfaced last summer, when allegations involving a subordinate employee came to light and were denied at the time. Since then, later decisions and unresolved issues seem to have caught up quickly, leading to what we saw in the news this past week. These situations rarely come from one bad moment—they usually unravel because early warning signs aren’t handled strategically.

That’s where preventative legal services come in—and why timing matters so much. Preventative legal works best early, when real options still exist. While there may still be ways for counsel to help moving forward, many of the protections and strategies that could have helped last summer simply aren’t available anymore. Friends, spouses, and business partners aren’t bound by the same confidentiality or foresight as a lawyer. Preventative legal helps people think through risk, protect sensitive information, and avoid the follow-up decisions that turn private problems into public ones. The sooner you talk to a lawyer, the more they can help. If you find yourself in a tough spot, contact the Charles Inch Law Firm to learn how proactive legal guidance can keep small issues from becoming big ones.
