• Your relationship with us is an ongoing with frequent contact. Through this, we will develop a strong understanding of your business, what is important to you, and what we can do to better advise you and guard you against risks.

Prevention is cheaper than cure

• The costs to fix legal problems and issues are far more expensive than doing
  things right from the beginning.
• We practice preventative law, meaning we provide legal advice and solutions
  to minimize risks to your business with the aim of not only ensuring legal compliance, but avoiding litigation, or worse.

Peace of mind

• Having the comfort of reliable legal advice at your fingertips. This is especially
  important to business owners who are constantly grappling with different legal issues including but not limited to debt recovery, employment, data protection, tax and so on.
• We encourage our clients to resolve any doubts they may have by reaching out to us. This includes issues that are legal but also where our experience, network of resources and, hopefully, common sense can be helpful.

Fixed monthly budget for legal fees

• Our Legal Shield plan represents a fixed monthly cost for your day-to-day legal needs.

Save money in the long run

• Don’t let your failure to seek timely legal advice become expensive and painful lessons. A lawyer on-call to provide timely legal advice that can help avoid this scenario is a smart investment.

Affordability

• Our Legal Shield plan is often cheaper than hiring a lawyer on an as-needed basis.
• Often or not, businesses require quick and concise legal advice. Going to a
  lawyer who is unfamiliar with your business to deal with legal issues that can be resolved by a simple phone call or email with us will end up costing your business more!
• For businesses without an in-house counsel, our Legal Shield plan represents an affordable, yet highly effective and flexible way to manage the legal aspects of one’s business.
