Small Business
Start-ups and businesses with up to
50 employees
When we ask businesses to add up how much they spend each year on legal matters we’re invariably greeted with the same response. Surprise at how much they’ve actually spent on that lease review, those employment issues and that solicitor's letter.
This surprise is quickly followed by memories of the uncertainty around the final bill. Rarely was it lower than expected. Frequently they had to query the hours they’d been charged for. Almost always the fees were unbudgeted or under-budgeted.
Many businesses told us they would call a solicitor more frequently if they knew what the cost would be. They want help and advice but, because they’re worried about the ‘ticking clock’, they deal with the matter in-house, with all the risks this brings. That’s why we created our services for small businesses:
- At no-cost, you can Register Now for Myview membership with its complimentary test call to one of our legal team, access to our comprehensive Legal Library which has over 650 advice pages and over 450 documents, letters and templates and much more;
- You can buy one of our annual contracts which provide unlimited support between 8.00am and 6.00pm during normal working days and flexible monthly payment options; and
- You can benefit from our no quibble refund policy. If you purchase one of our annual contracts and, in the first month, our service does not live up to your expectations, you can cancel your contract and we will refund your money. No questions, no quibbles, an immediate refund. We’re that confident about the quality of our service and our teams.
Following detailed work with smaller businesses, the Legal Adviser service scope has been designed to cover all the legal support that organisations typically require. Legal Adviser includes all in-scope advice, guidance, document preparation and review, plus the management of all correspondence and solicitors’ letters in any dispute up to a claim form being issued in a Tribunal or a Court.
If additional support is required outside of this service scope, for example representation in a Court or Tribunal, a separate fixed price quote will be provided. You are under no obligation to accept this quote and, if you don't, we undertake to provide your chosen adviser with the necessary documents promptly so they can support you appropriately.
