Business Advice Meetings – legal advice for a fixed price of only £195

While running your own business you’re used to being in control of your spending. And when you need to seek help from a lawyer about a legal matter that’s going to affect your business, we don’t see why that should change.

The inside word...

"Business owners have told me that they’ve often delayed approaching a lawyer to sit down and talk through their situation because they’re worried in case the cost turns into much more than they’d anticipated. That’s why our Business Advice Meetings are a great way of getting started with fast specialist advice for your business, at a special guaranteed price of just £195 + VAT."

 

There’s no need to worry about how much it will cost to consult a specialist business lawyer anymore now that QualitySolicitors’ countrywide network of law firms have introduced Business Advice Meetings.

This is a service created to provide business owners with one-off specialist business law advice, clarification of how the law applies to your situation or problem, plus guidance on how to address the legal issues identified for the special price of £195 + VAT.

Our Business Advice Meetings service provides business owners with up to 90 minutes' worth of face-to-face time with an experienced specialist lawyer in order to give you the peace of mind that having a much clearer idea of where you stand normally brings.

90 minutes with a specialist business lawyer that can be used:

  • To answer your questions or talk through a particular situation facing your business
  • To review documents (reading them with you or in advance as part of your 90 minutes)
  • Helping you write a difficult letter or complete legal forms 

Our Business Advice Meetings are an ideal way of getting one-off business law advice without any obligation to take matters further and without worrying about a large legal bill.

While this service may not be able to solve every legal issue in just 90 minutes, it’s our aim that you leave us with a clear understanding of where you stand, the legal options you have and the next steps you could take to protect or grow your business.

To get started we even offer a free telephone call-back service from a specialist business lawyer. This service is confidential and without any obligation to go on to book a Business Advice Meeting. Many people use this Free Initial Assessment to chat through their issues to ensure we will be able to help. Your time is valuable, so this helps us to move quickly when you do come in for your meeting.

How ‘Business Advice Meetings’ could help your business

Our network of law firms provides specialist legal expertise that can help you run your business more efficiently.

For only £195 + VAT, QualitySolicitors law firms can offer 90 minutes' worth of legal advice during Business Advice Meetings that you can use to address some specific legal issue that may affect your business, or carry out a legal audit of your business to check that you’re operating within the law.

We think this this offers unbelievable value, especially when you consider the long-term business benefits that could be achieved for such a small initial outlay.

Whether you’ve been trading for years or you’re just setting up, you can use your Business Advice Meetings for us to carry out an audit of the key legal issues needed for a healthy and successful business.

We can guide you through the options available to your business, and then make specific recommendations regarding the next steps you could take to protect you, your family and your business.

You can use your Business Law Advice Meetings time to address whichever issues you want to explore of course. Here’s how Business Advice Meetings have helped other business owners recently:

Do you have a shareholders’ agreement or partnership agreement in place that would protect you and the business if a shareholder or partner wants to leave, dies or falls out with you? We can also advise you on restructuring your business so it can trade on the best legal foundation to achieve your aims.

If you are considering renting or buying new premises this is a major financial decision with many issues to consider. Our advice can protect your business against long-term costs or problems hidden in the legal documents that could hamper the growth of your business. It makes sense to take legal advice on the terms being offered before you commit yourself.

We can also advise on compliance with all the regulations you will need to follow (such as fire regulations and asbestos risk assessments). In this way we can help you make highly informed decisions for your business with confidence.

Whenever you have people working for you there is a large number of regulations you will need to comply with – both to protect you and your business and to prevent expensive problems further down the line. We can advise on your contracts of employment and the employment policy documents that apply to your particular business.

We can also help you with any issues or problems raised by your staff; we’re sure the last thing you’d want, for example, is the cost and bad publicity of court action.

Whether dealing with customers or suppliers you’ll want to ensure that your business is protected and that your legal liability is limited if anything goes wrong and that you’re paid promptly.

The law sometimes changes on issues relating to business arrangements – so we can help to make sure your contracts are up-to-date and enforceable. If they’re not effective, they can’t protect or support you and may actually be useless.

If you’re business has a problem with getting paid promptly then we may be able to help. Whether it’s a problem with a particular customer or a more general debt recovery issue, we can explain and perhaps even demonstrate how the law can be used to help you.

Selling products or services online (or by mail order or telesales), or at the homes of your customers, means that special rules apply to your business.

The rules are complex and need to be applied to the way your business operates, and if you don’t comply then your customers are given extra rights; which may mean they can cancel their agreement with you and get their money back. Don’t get caught out – take advice!

If you have a trade name or logo, we can advise you on how to effectively avoid the risk of a competitor using it without your permission by registering it. You may also have a business idea that is original, different or unique; we can advise on the steps you can take to protect it or to defend a challenge to your ownership of it.

Have you thought about what would happen to your business if you died or suffered an injury or illness that meant you lost the capacity to run it? (Your husband or wife or business partners do not have the automatic rights you might have expected...)

Without the right legal protection in place your death might force an immediate end to the business and an enforced sale of the assets (which might cause financial loss, or an increased estate that triggers an inheritance tax payment that could have been avoided).

You can protect everyone concerned – and your business – with a “business will” and devices such as ‘trusts’ and ‘lasting powers of attorney’, and we would of course advise what the best form of protection is for your particular circumstances.
